This is usually an enjoyable tournament. The last one was all kinds of mental at times.

I think they're missing a trick not hosting AFCON in the UK, during a fallow summer, they'd certainly get the crowds

Why would they host Africa’s continental tournament anywhere other than in Africa? Perhaps take the Euros to South America.

Little bit offensive.

Money? They would fill any larger EPL stadium with games involving Nigeria/Ghana and most of the others would be well attended aswell by neutrals.

Massive market for it here.

I’m sure they’d say thanks but we’re perfectly capable of hosting our own tournament thanks.

Colonial exceptionalism.

For those bothering to watch it, coverage will be spread across a number of Channel 4 sub-channels, including All4, E4 and Channel 4 YouTube, as well as the main channel itself.

And there is a full programme of 4 games throughout the day on Christmas Eve, which is a bit bonkers but quite on-brand for AFCON.
