It's ridiculous to consider playing this tournament in the current climate. It should be postponed.

And Euro 2020 wasn't, especially being held in multiple countries with lots of cross-border travel?
I can see Ian Wright's point if this kind of perception is common.

What perception? You made an assumption on this guys opinion of the Euros going ahead then essentially accused him of disrespecting the AFCON based on double standards...He could very well have been against the Euros going ahead.

I actually said the same about the euros so it not a personal thing about AFCON?   

 

You have made an assumption there based on I'm not sure what?

The increased contagiousness of the Omicron variant is causing a whole heap of issues for everyone atm, even if it isn't as dangerous for most - it's the timing of it that's not great for AFCON.  Delta was nasty, but easier to limit exposure to, which is why 'bubbles' worked well for sports over the summer, but aren't any more.

Nothing to do with AFCON , statement is for world wide , and Iam just putting my frustrations out there . 

complain about the west like the UK USA ETC that aint doing enough to truly distribute vaccines, same thing with china. until everyone in the world that wants the vaccine can get it this wont ever change. if it doesnt have profit involved the superpowers wont do it. and of course the big pharma companies as well, whom said govs support, instead of their own public systems like with the NHS.

 

understand your frustration though

Four Foxes Set For AFCON In Cameroon
INTERNATIONALS
Published 06 Jan 2022

Daniel Amartey, Kelechi Iheanacho, Wilfred Ndidi and Nampalys Mendy will represent their countries at the 2021 CAF Africa Cup of Nations this month.
- Four Leicester City players are set to feature during the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations
- Daniel Amartey, Kelechi Iheanacho, Wilfred Ndidi and Nampalys Mendy have been called up

 

- Amartey's Ghana open against Morocco and Mendy's Senegal face Zimbabwe on Monday
- Iheanacho and Ndidi could feature in Nigeria's maiden fixture against Egypt on Tuesday

 

The African football extravaganza, last won by Algeria, sees 24 teams across six groups compete in five host cities for the honour of becoming African champions. It begins on Sunday when hosts Cameroon tackle Burkina Faso at Olembe Stadium, Yaoundé, in Group A. 

Amartey is in the squad for four-time winners Ghana, who qualified as Group C victors. The Black Stars begin next Monday against Morocco in Yaoundé, before taking on Gabon at the same venue in Group C on 14 January and Comoros, in Garoua, on 18 January.

Amartey, a Premier League, Emirates FA Cup and FA Community Shield winner at the Club, has 34 caps to his name for Ghana - the last of which came in a pre-AFCON friendly against Algeria on Wednesday evening. 

Elsewhere, Foxes team-mates Ndidi and Iheanacho are also hoping to play prominent roles for Nigeria, who won the last of their three AFCON titles in 2013. After finishing top of Group L of qualifying, the Super Eagles begin their campaign against Egypt at Roumdé Adjia Stadium next Tuesday.

 

Clashes with Sudan and Guinea-Bissau, also both in Garoua, then await Nigeria in Group D. Ndidi has featured on 43 occasions for his country, while Iheanacho is on 38 caps.

Mendy, on the other hand, is also in contention to represent Senegal at the competition.

The Lions of Teranga, Group I winners in qualifying, have been placed in Group B. They begin their tournament at Kouekong Stadium, Bafoussam against Zimbabwe on Monday. Then it's Guinea on 14 January and Malawi on 18 January for the two-time runners-up, who were beaten in the final in 2019.

I think you are right, we should have got everyone together and cut a deal with the companies who hold the patents and let anyone make them, anywhere. The US has been asking for this since Biden got in, but ultimately it was Trump who set the tone.
