Mwendwa, Juma and Xavier concerned by Afcon calendar change

Football Kenya Federation (FKF) has no complaints to make following the change of dates for the 2021 African Cup of Nations (Afcon) tournament, president Nick Mwendwa has stated.

Caf altered the period in which the 33rd edition will be staged following the request made by Cameroon's Federation and Mwendwa says they are in agreement with the amendments.

Cameroon’s Minister of Sports and Physical Education Narcisse Mouelle Kombi requested Caf to change the dates in which Afcon will take place.

“We are very fine with that decision. The tournament was always staged in January and February and it was only changed to accommodate Fifa tournaments,” Mwendwa told Goal.
