Cameroon forward Stephane Bahoken believes “there is still time” to complete the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) qualifiers and stick to the January staging of the tournament despite the coronavirus pandemic plunging the football calendar into uncertainty.
Caf has already lost two rounds of qualification following the postponement of the March fixtures and it is highly-unlikely that June’s Matchday 5 and the final fixtures in August will proceed as scheduled.
Despite the bleak future possibilities, Bahoken is confident of an August resumption of the qualifiers and feels that moving the Afcon tournament to June would cause a counter-attraction with the 2021 Uefa European Championship.
