The official claims those nations have invested in the game and this is why they have emerged winners in almost every final
AFC Leopards Football Operations Manager Tom Juma has explained why the Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) tournament has been dominated by the West and North African countries.
Juma admits those countries have invested in their football setups and the majority of the players were nurtured at an early age while at school.
In the last Afcon edition held in Egypt, the Cecafa region was represented by Kenya, Uganda, Burundi, Tanzania and Uganda but it is only the Cranes who reached the knockout stage.
