Welcome to old news! It was announced last week that it will take place two week after the end of the Club World Cup taking place in the USA!

I wonder how many of our players would be involved in that rubbish tournament.

The Club World cup? One or two. We don't have players in the top clubs in Europe or Africa!

Africans are always the ones pressured to change their tournaments schedule.

Na so we see am oo. Very soon it will go back to January again.

CAF agreed to move it to the summer 3 or so years ago,in fact Egypt 2019 was a European summer tournament and it was supposed to remain that way but Cameroon and Ivory Coast obviously didn’t invest in stadia that can deal with the West African raining season.
The raining season will return every year so why would African nations that experience an expected natural phenomenon build stadiums that are only useful in January?

A tournament is not only about the conditions in the stadium. It is also about the fan experience. The last AFCON would have had a worse fan experience if it had been pouring rain all the way. Football is played in Europe in winter but there is a reason why they reserve the Euros for the best weather.

The FIFA World Cup in the Americas (USA, Mexico and Canada) will be in the very hot and humid months, June and July.

They will tell you they care for the footballers and the fans. They are lying.

It is about how they (FIFA) can make the most money in this case how CAF, FIFA, and the clubs can make the most money.

I agree about the players but isn't summer the best tournament period for fans in the US and Canada?

The Stadiums in Dallas and Houston all have roofs and AC, which Summer heat will affect football...abeg make we hear word. Let the CAF host get with the program and get up to day infrastructure. 2024 and we are still buying excuses for incompetency

100% with you,CAF need to set standards if a nation wants to host a tournament they need to be able to stick to planned date and be able to build stadia that can deal with their geographical climate all year round.
