FIFA President, Gianni Infantino, has proposed to the Confederation of Africa Football (CAF) that the Africa Cup of the Nations be held every four years instead of every two years.

Infantino is among the speakers at a Caf seminar in Morocco which is focusing on the development of football competitions and infrastructure in Africa.

“I propose to organise the Africa Cup of Nations every four years rather than two years,” the Fifa President told delegates in Rabat in Morocco.

He decried the fact that Africa Cup of generates twenty times less than the Euros. Having a CAN every two years, is that good at the commercial level? Has this developed the infrastructure? Think about spending it every four years,” Infantino said.

Infantino spoke about the Africa Cup of Nations in relation to specific areas which he identified as needing “intervention” to help boost African football.

He identified refereeing, infrastructure,and competitions as areas that need improvement.

“I think it’s time to stop talking about the development of African football, and take actions. No African team has won the World Cup. And there is an impression Africa is going backwards,”

Fifa has since confirmed Infantino’s stance and his proposal to change the frequency of the Nations Cup.
