Eto'o questions Infantino's four-year Afcon plan

Samuel Eto’o feels that Fifa’s proposal to have the Africa Cup of Nations held every four years would not be in the best interest of the continent.

Last week, Fifa president Gianni Infantino suggested that Afcon should be held every four years instead of two.

But Eto’o, who has been working in an ambassadorial role with Caf president Ahmad Ahmad as well as Fifa boss Infantino, feels that a four-year Afcon is designed to have Africa’s best players available for big clubs at the expense of the continent.
