Africa Cup of Nations shunted into margins as greedy game finds no room at top table | Jonathan Wilson

it's so sad to see africa cup of nations struggling 🤕. fifa should think about how this affects african countries more than just european clubs 👥. africa has been growing and showing great talent in football but we need more support, not less ⚽️. the world cup is one thing but africa can't be pushed around just for that 💪. patrice motsepe's efforts are good but it needs more backing from fifa 🤝. maybe they should create a separate african league like gianni infantino said 🔥. it's time africa gets its due recognition ⏰
 
🤯 Did you see that stats on the Africa Cup of Nations? 2023 was only 20 teams lol 🏆 6 days notice for clubs is wild . European clubs have like 70% of players participating in the Champions League 🤑 which makes it hard for African nations to compete. They need a solution ASAP or its gonna be tough for them to keep up with the calendar 🕒

African Cup of Nations attendance has been declining since 2012 and now its averaging around 500k per match 📉😐. Compare that to the Champions League which is consistently breaking records 🚀👏. We need a stronger commitment from European clubs if African nations wanna reclaim their spot on the global calendar 💪

Also, look at this chart of team participation numbers over the years... 📊 it's all downhill for Africa since 2012 👎
 
I don’t usually comment but... 😐 I feel bad for Africa's football scene. They deserve better than to be treated like an afterthought by Fifa and European clubs 🤔. It's like, they're saying "oh we'll let you have your tournament, but only if it doesn't conflict with our fancy Champions League". It's so frustrating 🙄. And what about the players? They're the ones who make the teams successful, not the managers or coaches 🏅. It feels like they're being held back by Fifa's priorities. The "2025 Cup of Nations" thing is just a band-aid solution 🤕. Can't they see that this is just treating the symptoms and not addressing the real issue? I hope someone from Fifa steps up and says "you know what, we need to make Africa cup of nations more important". 🙏
