Three years in a lifetime is long - Nchout berates 2020 Africa Women's Cup of Nations cancellation

Cameroon international Ajara Nchout is in shock by the move of the Confederation of African Football (Caf) to cancel the 2020 Africa Women's Cup of Nations.

On Tuesday, Goal reported Caf's cancellation of the continental women's showpiece earlier slated for November 23 to December 20 after its Executive Committee meeting in a virtual-conference.

The decision was largely due to the global health crisis arising from the Covid-19 outbreak, which forced the indefinite postponement of its qualifying series earlier billed for April and June.

"Due to challenging conditions, the 2020 edition of the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations has been cancelled," Caf confirmed in a statement.
