Next year’s AFCON in Cameroon has now been moved to January 2022 as a result of the logistical nightmare caused by the Coronavirus Pandemic.
This was one of the decisions taken at today’s virtual meeting of the executive committee of the Confederation of African Football (CAF) led by president Ahmad Ahmad.
SCORENigeria reported Saturday this postponement was likely.
The continental showpiece event was scheduled to be played between January 9 and February 6 in Cameroon, but it will now be played in January 2022.
The qualifying tournament is only in its second round.
Three-time champions Super Eagles lead Group L with six points followed by Benin, who have three points.
Sierra Leone and Lesotho are the other teams in this section and they both have a point apiece.
