The African Nations Championship (CHAN) should be restructured as an under-23 competition to improve standards, former Tunisia defender Karim Haggui has said.
The CHAN, which is currently is in its seventh edition, is specifically for African players who play in their own domestic leagues on the continent. The semi-finals for the tournament, involving hosts Algeria, Niger, Senegal and Madagascar, take place on Tuesday.
Algeria have received praise for the facilities in the four host cities and the turnouts in Algiers, Annaba and Oran, but Haggui, who won 76 caps for Tunisia, said that he has been left disappointed by drab matches, lack of urgency and poor intensity in some group games.
