About a third of Africa is in the Southern Hemisphere. From Gabon down. But many countries around the equator and the tropics have tropical climates and no winter or summer as such.

Stadt Posted 18 July 2017 Share Posted 18 July 2017 Is it still every two years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Barry Hammond Posted 18 July 2017 Share Posted 18 July 2017 16 minutes ago, Wookie said: Is it still every two years? Yes, which is a problem in itself for moving it to the summer, because European based African players could end up with a disrupted pre-season 3 years out of 4. The powers that be are ruining football - the number of games in competitions keeps growing, but the quality and interest is decreasing (especially in early rounds/none impact games). The football bubble will burst if they're not careful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MattP Posted 18 July 2017 Share Posted 18 July 2017 About time, now the move to make it four years instead of two like everyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jattdogg Posted 19 July 2017 Share Posted 19 July 2017 All games at night time could work of its "cooler" thrn depending on where in africa the tourney is being held. Personally they need to make it every 4 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foxy boxing Posted 19 July 2017 Share Posted 19 July 2017 About time they moved it to summer when international tournaments are usually played, it should come into line with tournaments like the world cup and European championships! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redouane Posted 19 July 2017 Share Posted 19 July 2017 They should just cancel this awful tournament Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cc_star Posted 19 July 2017 Share Posted 19 July 2017 Very difficult to hold a summer tournament, you'd have to play in the southernmost tip of South Africa or northernmost tip of Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia & Libya to avoid a tropical or equatorial climate, even then, night time games beneficial because of the mediterranean climate Just make it every 4 years... Every 2 is ridiculous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LinekersApples Posted 19 July 2017 Share Posted 19 July 2017 They should play it in different countries, like the European Championships does. Its always in Africa, which I know is a huge country, but maybe they should try a different country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every 2 is ridiculous Wouldn't it be pretty much the same playing in Summer as Winter around the equator though? Copa America manage to play in Summer too. Admittedly it would make it difficult for some countries to host but same with the World cup. Can't play that in the Middle East. Oh wait....:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
