Ivory Coast head coach Emerse Fae has voiced support for plans to stage the Africa Cup of Nations every four years rather than every two, arguing the shift could help strengthen football development across the continent if implemented alongside wider structural reforms.
Speaking to AFP, Fae said the change could be positive, provided African football authorities also invest properly in growth and competition.
The AFCON has traditionally been held biennially since its inaugural edition in 1957. Still, Confederation of African Football president Patrice Motsepe announced a major overhaul on the eve of the current tournament in Morocco.
