Why has Caf abandoned plans to hold Afcon every four years?
Sadio Mane's Senegal won Afcon 2025 but the result was later overturned in favour of Morocco, and the Court of Arbitration for Sport will determine the ultimate destination of the title After a shock announcement 10 months ago that the Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) would be held every four years, the governing body of football on the continent has reversed course.
