Algeria won the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt, held in June and July. Next year's tournament in Cameroon will revert to a January-February time slotAdvertising Read moreYaoundé (AFP)The Africa Cup of Nations will revert to its former time slot of January and February for the next edition in 2021, hosts Cameroon said on Wednesday. Organisers said they had agreed to the change after discussions with meteorological experts, as well as player and coach representatives. The date change is also convenient for FIFA, given that world football's governing body will stage the first 24-team Club World Cup in China in June and July of 2021. It comes with FIFA's Senegalese secretary general Fatma Samoura having been named as general delegate for Africa last year to oversee reforms within African football's governing body.
