In addition, by increasing hosting venues, CAF can actually increase the number of teams participating in an AFCON finals. I think not only CAF but that is the way these mega events are headed as it will save costs for everyone while also widening access to the finals.

Dude, why are you busy proffering solution to a problem that doesn't exist ? You want a full stadium during a pandemic with all the Covid regulatory protocols??

I will not be surprised if Nigerian players do not have visas to get to some of the other host nations!

The answer should give you an idea why a dispersed tournament in multiple venues at other countries will also attract an increased number of spectators. LOL.
A few examples, if this tournament was also simultaneously taking place in Accra with Ghana in the group; in Dakar with Senegal in the group; in Cairo with Egypt in the group; in Lusaka with Zambia in the group. For instance, have a dispersed number of countries hosting each group. I hope it is clearer now. (1) each of those countries will only need to build one or two venues if at all (saving construction costs associated with the tournament) ands (2) because there are now several hosts playing at home you immediately increase attendance. (3) Because it is dispersed and hosting costs lowered, more finalists can be admitted. (4) each region of the continent gets to host an AFCON final during each AFCON..

Europe is different from Africa as the transport links are good with many options to travel say air, train, driving, etc., you can travel on the match day to watch a match in many European Countries and till get back the same day or early next morning with taking only a day of work.Adisboy wrote: ↑Thu Jan 13, 2022 2:53 pmLogistically, that would be a total disaster.
