The World Football governing body,FIFA boss, Gianni Infantino has proposed that the African continental Cup ofNations be played every four years, as part of a package of reforms designed tolift “African football to the top of the world”.
Infantino also told a seminar inRabat, Morocco, attended by delegates from each of the Confederation of AfricanFootball, CAF’s 54-member associations, that he wanted new stadiums in every memberstate and had allocated one billion dollars to finance the ambitious programme.
The FIFA boss added that he wantedto “revolutionise African football”.
The Africa Cup of Nations iscurrently staged every two years, which makes it unpopular with European clubs.Infantino also promised to create a pan-Africanleague that would feature 20 to 24 clubs, with a maximum of maybe two clubs percountry, which would still play in their national leagues
