AFCON every 2 years: two CAF officials oppose the reform?

Two CAF Executive Committee members, Ahmed Yahya of Mauritania and Souleiman Waberi of Djibouti, voted against returning the AFCON to a biennial schedule, despite a majority supporting it. Their opposition appears driven by political interests and alliance dynamics within CAF rather than sporting considerations. CAF recently reversed its plan to hold the tournament every two years, favoring a four-year cycle to ensure financial viability and avoid conflicts with UEFA and FIFA, with decisions influenced by economic and political factors involving European clubs and the stability of the competition.
