Uncle, how will this guarantee full stadia for every game, especially if as uncle mentalalloy said, their is a vaccination requirement and a 60% capacity limit?

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..

Re: CAF NEEDS RETHINK EMPTY STADIA
...the thinning of fans at major African tournaments been happening since the introduction of European leagues tv on the continent. Heck, even the CAF leadership, journalists, prefer abroad players when selecting best African players. Filling up stadiums will be tough to fix as things are with football appetite in Africa now.

Why not scrap the 'host' concept as a whole and have a league format that you play home and away! There is a reason why you have the HOST nations.
Europe itself saw the logistic nightmare. Do you know how many visas some players will have to get just to participate in the tournament by moving from one country to the other? Don't even start with the cost of the teams moving up and down.

Visa is not a major issue at all!! Bros, competitions like World Cup and AFCON negotiate with governments for easier visa access during the period of competition. That is not a problem. Moreover by having a dispersed tournament, you assure that the host nation or nearby nations bring in the spectators. Notice how Nigeria's games will attract more spectators because of its neighboring status.

Re: CAF NEEDS RETHINK EMPTY STADIA
Recent Super Eagles games didnt sell out in Nigeria. In fact the only stadium that sells out for most Nigeria games is Kano. So your theory that home teams play to packed stadium is not based on facts. Also, are you suggestiing evey team that qualifies dor the tournament should play at home? Because with 32 teams, even if you have multiple host cities, you will still have games featuring two foreign counties. What will you do then?
I think this is a nonsensical idea from poster known for posting weird stuff. We shouldn't have paid any attention to it.

Re: CAF NEEDS RETHINK EMPTY STADIA
Sorry for yabbing you. The point is hosting the AFCON games in multiple counties will not guarantee packed stadia if most of the soccer fans in Africa cant afford the tickets in the first place.

Yabbing no mater cause Yab na my thing but how ironic is it that you cajole The so called Abroad Nigerians for thinking they are better off and turn around say local Africans cannot afford common ticket. Bro have you been around Africa lately? I was in Zambia in December an adidas track pants I bought in the US for $50 was selling at their local mall for $110 and they were snapping it up.

So now you ran out of any reasonable point and resort to campaign of personal attack in hopes of inciting supporters to come your way ? Ok
The home hame you refer to were had limited tickets because they did want a packed stadium at that dilapidated thing in surulere now banned by CAF.

Re: CAF NEEDS RETHINK EMPTY STADIA
I thought we are discussing empty stadia. No stadia is expected to be full for covid, BTW.1naija wrote: ↑Sat Jan 15, 2022 4:01 am Recent Super Eagles games didnt sell out in Nigeria. In fact the only stadium that sells out for most Nigeria games is Kano. So your theory that home teams play to packed stadium is not based on facts. Also, are you suggestiing evey team that qualifies dor the tournament should play at home? Because with 32 teams, even if you have multiple host cities, you will still have games featuring two foreign counties. What will you do then?
I think this is a nonsensical idea from poster known for posting weird stuff. We shouldn't have paid any attention to it.

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.
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..
The issue is about avoiding empty stadia. Even at the WC all games are not packed to the brim and thus I do not know where you get the Idea that all games are expected to be sold out to a packed stadium.
May I remind you that full stadia is different from avoiding empty stadia. None of the games in this AFCON is even designed to be full and not even the World Cup fills every stadia. You may want to read the heading of the thread again for clarity. Perhaps you are discussing something else.

Re: CAF NEEDS RETHINK EMPTY STADIA
So if you know the stadia in this tournament are empty because of covid protocols, why are you suggesting hosting the tournaments in multiple countries as solution to empty stadia in this tournament?

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.

But they are, even North African Countries who get tourists visiting have heavily armed police and armies patrolling the tourist hot spots to stop the trouble makers.
