They had stated the reasons prior to Ahmad's election and it is clearly kowtowing to UEFA and FOFA. This was part of the deal with FIFA. The stated reasons is because of club v country conflict and having all the Confederations have their nations cup in the same cycle and month. Unfortunately, they did not address the weather or the financial doubts.Odas wrote:Switching to every four years is not a good idea, but perhaps they have their reasoning for wanting to make the switch. Let's wait and see what the reasons are. On the other hand, why wanting to change the AFCON tournament to June? Is June not raining season for many West African nations?

It will happen. One major issue I have is the cost of hosting 24 teams may be too high for many countries atm. If four venues can still be used then it's good.Eaglezbeak wrote:This had to happen!
I remember making these suggestions years ago regarding switching to the summer and having it in odd years. Yujam and I had a lengthy argument about it and I told him it was only a matter of time.Enugu II wrote:They had stated the reasons prior to Ahmad's election and it is clearly kowtowing to UEFA and FOFA.
