China News Service, July 1 (Xinhua) According to foreign media reports, the African Football Association recently announced that it will postpone the Africa Cup scheduled for January-February 2021 to January-February 2022 in Cameroon.
In addition, the African Football Championship originally scheduled for April this year will be postponed to January 2021, and the African Women’s National Cup originally scheduled for November this year will be cancelled. The African Union Cup semifinals and finals will be held in Morocco, and the African Champions League semifinals and finals will be held in Cameroon.
The rescheduling of the African Cup will have a certain impact on the five major league teams such as La Liga, English Premier League, Bundesliga, Ligue 1, and Serie A. Players in the five major leagues of various participating countries in the African Cup will inevitably disrupt the rhythm of their leagues because of the national team events, which also challenges the club's response.
After the Africa Cup is postponed, the next two years will also be a fairly intensive year for football matches. In addition to the Africa Cup, the World Cup, World Club Cup, and Olympic football events will be held during the period, plus the European Cup postponed to 2021, the next two years will be a feast of football.
