‘It is more difficult to complete qualifiers’ - Guedioura calls for Afcon cancellation

Adlene Guedioura says the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations should be cancelled or postponed because of the coronavirus.

The spread of the pandemic continues to place football-related activities on hold as several countries across the world have cancelled their leagues.

Currently, qualifying games for Cameroon 2021 are yet to be concluded and should the competition go as planned between January to February next year, Europe-based stars might be affected because of a likely congested season.

“I know that the Africa Cup of Nations is important and it's good for the countries to organise it but this one in 2021 I think it should be cancelled or postponed," Guedioura told BBC World Service.
