Former Ghana head coach Claude Le Roy has kicked against the decision of the Confederation of African Football (CAF) to change the football calendar of the Africa Cup of Nations from two years to four years.
The surprise announcement about the future of AFCON was made by Motsepe after a meeting of CAF’s executive committee in Morocco before the start of the 2025 finals in Rabat on Sunday.
The tournament has taken place every two years since 1968, with a one-year gap between the 2012 and 2013 editions.
But it will switch to a four-year cycle after the 2027 AFCON in East Africa and a 2028 edition.
Reacting to the development, Le Roy, in a chat with BBC Africa Sport’s Osasu Obayiuwana, stated that it is very wrong to change the AFCON from a two- to a four-year event.
“Football in Africa is under serious attack. It is very wrong to change the AFCON from a two to a four-year event.
“Look at the way Infantino was acting during the AFCON 2025 opening ceremony, like he owns the place. Can he do this at a UEFA event?. When Issa Hayatou was president, these things would never have happened,” he added.
