Qualifying dates for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations have been changed shortly after Tunisia suggested they may skip the tournament to concentrate on preparations for the 2022 World Cup.

All six rounds of Nations Cup qualifiers were initially due to be concluded in September this year, with four matches in June and two in September.

The Confederation of African Football (Caf) has approved modifications to the schedule, moving two matches from June to March next year.

Shows a team that is serious about their preparations, and probably identified reasons for previous failures, and how to better prepare.

Now compare that to our "who to blame after knee jerk reactions" shambolic approach.

The people is the NFF, and the NFF is the people. We can not manufacture leadership.
Let's do better, and not be too quick to trivialize what others are doing.

Abeg, I'm still sour from the world cup exit. So let me gently exit this thread before I blow more steam :mad:

Why do we need another Afcon within a yr of the 2021 Afcon? CAF is just milking sponsors and getting nothing accomplished. They should focus on building better regional leagues and improving refereeing in Africa.

Emir Kongi I agree with you why another AFCON tournament a year after the last one…COVID or no COVID. CAF has no foresight, vision, or plan for African football just a bunch of idiotic dodo heads…..

The wounds are still fresh. :)

Thanks to CAF planning, the AFCON schedule was set awhile back. :)
Tunisia and every other federation knew it.
No need to give Nigeria more time to look for a coach. :D
