Coupe d'Afrique tous les deux ans : Me Augustin Senghor affiche sa position
The Confederation of African Football (CAF) is considering a return to an Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) held every two years. This option is supported by Augustin Senghor, the former president of the Senegalese Football Federation (FSF), who is even calling for support for this initiative.
“In Cape Verde, on the sidelines of the CAF Strategic Conference, President Patrice Motsepe raised the idea of a return to an AFCON every two years. For the good of African football, the pleasure of our fans and our financial viability, let’s support the initiative,” he said on X this Saturday.
In December 2025, the CAF president had announced the competition would move to a four-year cycle, meaning one edition every four years. The implementation of this reform could therefore be called into question.
Last Friday, the South African leader confirmed that several options were being considered, including a return to holding the Africa Cup of Nations every two years. The frequency of the flagship African football competition has thus been the subject of discussions in recent days.
"We have discussed the issue in recent days and are examining all options, including returning to a biennial schedule for the AFCON," he said on the sidelines of a strategic conference in Cape Verde.
A few months after the announcement of a major reform of the calendar, this new option reignites the debate on the evolution of the competition format and the coherence of the strategy displayed by the governing body of African football.

Et avec le soutien des africains il
A des chances d être réélu et c est la raison pour laquelle ils sont revenus sur leur décision d organiser la can tous les 4 ans
Faut aussi exiger à chaque pays la réalisation de 05 stades aux normes FIFA, avant de pouvoir participer . Ainsi un pays comme le Sénégal sera éliminé dès le départ pour le contraindre à travailler.
Pourquoi cibler uniquement le Sénégal ???
