Africa-Press – Mauritius. <\/strong><\/span>Organisers of Africa\u2019s premier men\u2019s and women\u2019s international football tournaments have admitted they face a \u201cscheduling nightmare\u201d, but dates for forthcoming editions are closer to being agreed, the BBC has been told.<\/p>\n

During a rare in-depth interview Veron Mosengo-Omba, general secretary of the Confederation of African Football (Caf), promised that an announcement on the 2024 Women\u2019s Africa Cup of Nations (Wafcon) in Morocco would arrive by the end of this month \u2014 revealing there is a strong chance it could be switched to next year.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are supposed to play this year but we have teams engaged in the Olympics, so we have to find another date,\u201d Mosengo-Omba explained to BBC Sport Africa.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are talking with Uefa, because most of the players are playing in Europe, the European Club Association and also with Fifa in order to find [a] suitable date.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Mosengo-Omba confirmed that Caf could stage the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon), also set to be hosted by Morocco, in early 2026 because of the timing of Fifa\u2019s new 32-team Club World Cup in June and July next year.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor the men, we need to make sure that the dates that we\u2019ll be choosing will be in the interests of the players,\u201d said the Swiss-Congolese, highlighting issues around the workload of the continent\u2019s elite players.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor this we need to balance different aspects and also discuss with our partners and then we complete [the dates]. Scheduling is a nightmare for everybody.\u201d<\/p>\n

Caf\u2019s statutes say both iterations of the Nations Cup should be held once every two years \u2014 rather than once every four as is the case with most major championships organised by other confederations.<\/p>\n

However, that puts pressure on the African game\u2019s governing body to fit its competitions into an ever-more-crowded international calendar.<\/p>\n

Qualifying for the 2024 Wafcon was completed last December, but deciding when to hold the 12-team finals is complicated by the fact that record nine-time winners Nigeria and Zambia will be participating in the Paris Olympics in July and August.<\/p>\n

Desiree Ellis, coach of reigning continental champions South Africa, says the crowded schedule is evidence of rapid growth in the women\u2019s game \u2014 but she remains critical of Caf\u2019s handling of the situation.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf it (Wafcon) is postponed or cancelled, it will be a huge, huge disappointment,\u201d the 61-year-old told BBC Sport Africa, pointing out that the 2020 Nations Cup was cancelled because of the coronavirus pandemic, unlike the men\u2019s 2021 tournament which was merely postponed.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe growth of women\u2019s football over the last couple of years has really shot through the roof, especially on the African continent.<\/p>\n

\u201cJust communicate whether it\u2019s happening or whether it\u2019s not happening so we know how to prepare going forward.\u201d<\/p>\n

The growth of women\u2019s football in Africa has been made clear this year by two record-breaking transfer fees paid for Zambian players.<\/p>\n

In February, forward Rachel Kundananji set a new world record when joining American team Bay FC for $860,000 (Sh112m) and the next month Copper Queens skipper Barbra Banda moved to fellow National Women\u2019s Soccer League side Orlando Pride for $740,000 (Sh96.6m).<\/p>\n

Mosengo-Omba says Caf\u2019s only option for scheduling Wafcon this year would involve playing it outside of an agreed international window \u2014 meaning club sides would not be compelled to release their stellar names.<\/p>\n

\u201cDo we play Women\u2019s Afcon without our best players? This is something that personally I think is not good,\u201d he said. \u201cWe cannot come back by using only local (domestic-based) players. They are good, but the standard would not be the same.\u201d<\/p>\n

The alternative is a postponement until 2025.<\/p>\n

When it comes to the men\u2019s Nations Cup, Caf\u2019s \u201cnightmare\u201d has been caused by global governing body Fifa introducing its expanded Club World Cup.<\/p>\n

The 32-team tournament will be played in the United States from June 15 to July 13 next year \u2014 dates which potentially could have been earmarked for the 2025 Afcon, with Caf having previously stated its aim of aligning its flagship competition with the European summer window.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have a problem that we\u2019re still discussing now with the same stakeholders and partners: the European Club Association, Uefa and Fifa,\u201d said Mosengo-Omba.<\/p>\n

He denied that Fifa has pressured Caf not to hold Afcon at the same time as the Club World Cup \u2014 something that Concacaf, the continental confederation for North and Central America, has decided to do with its Gold Cup competition.<\/p>\n

Fifa has been forced to defend its new addition to the football calendar after criticism from unions that players are being \u201cpushed beyond their limits\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe can play after the Club World Cup, but is this good for the interests of the players who have played all the season and then they travel to America to play [and then] immediately come to play Afcon?\u201d Mosengo-Omba continued. \u201cWe have to put this in balance before [we] take a decision.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite concerns around heat, the 2019 Nations Cup in Egypt was hosted in June and July that year and the 2021 and 2023 editions were also due to be staged around the same time of year to avoid the regular club versus country clash caused by the tournament\u2019s traditional January-February time slot.<\/p>\n

However, the 2021 tournament in Cameroon was pushed back to early 2022 because of the pandemic and weather concerns, while the 2023 tournament was held in Ivory Coast earlier this year to avoid the West African rainy season.<\/p>\n

Despite Caf failing to meet its aim of aligning the past two tournaments with the European football calendar, Mosengo-Omba admits it could very well happen again in Morocco.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf this is for the interests of the player, why not? Because we have to focus in terms of the player,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the date for the qualifying draw for the 2025 Afcon is set to be announced after the next meeting of Caf\u2019s executive committee. Qualifiers are expected to be held in September, October and November this year.<\/p>\n
