Acon is a waste of time for you. Probably not for the players and fans of the countries taking part in it. Realistically their only real chance of winning an international title.
Think the Copa America changed from every 2 years to every 4 years recently (apart from the fact they've had 2 tournaments in the past 2 years?).
Would make far more sense if all continent cups were every 4 years in between world cups, surprised FIFA aren't stricter in making it so?

No different to the majority of countries in the World Cup/euros,
Don't FIFA get a lot of contributions from Africa? Especially the corrupt ones?
With the WC every 4 years and the EC every 4 years it works out we play our majors every 2 years.
Why does it? It's in January, there's no conflict with the Euros or World Cup.

No, no, those africans should not look out for their own interests, rather should listen to what the smart europeans tell them is best for them
Doesn't answer my question, manfrom. Unless I've misunderstood what Red's point was the suggestion was that they play every two years because of how the Euros and world cup are scheduled, when that's obviously not true.
If the acon was in the summer I'd take the point.

This was done to move the tournament into odd years so it didn't coincide with the WC/Euros... get you facts straight bro
I'm just making the point, hugely sarcastically as I am wont to do, that CAF can hold their tournament whenever they please and don't "need to move to every 4 years."
Africans can play their tournament whenever and wherever they like... If you have a problem with that you can go do one...
Euros are great but "Acon is a bit of a waste of time"... the ignorance/bigotry on this board knows no bounds...
Not really relevant to my point, but fair enough, manfrom.

There's no bigger event in Africa than the ACON. The fans there look forward to it than even the WC , especially if their country are in it.
So for the OP to say it's a bit of a "waste of time" is quite shocking really
More tournaments means more money being generated.
That's probably the reason.

You're obviously a mathematical genius
Let me clarify, 'waste of time' was partly in reference to the quality, but much more towards the fact every 2 years is too close together, and thereby decreases its prestige for me. For a terrible anology it's like moving Having 2 or 3 Christmases (insert religious fest of choice here) every year, kind of kills the Magic a bit. Waste of time was probably the wrong words.,

It only "kills the Magic" if you always had it every 4 years and then decided to have it every two years.
This is the way its been (more or less) since it's inception in the 50s... I see no reason why this diminishes it, as I see no reason for change.
Wrong choice of words indeed...

You need to calm down you mug
Since 2010, this is the 5th ACON. There have only been 2 Euros in that period. There will also be another ACON again before the Euros happen, so that's 6-2.
It's ridiculous
I like international tournaments but can never really get into the acon. Maybe because the standard is so bad is the reason for that.

One extra Acon was played to switch to odd years. Other than that Acons have occurred at the same frequency as they have for 60 years. If you can't wrap you head around that, I feel sorry for you...
