It is that time of the year when almost everybody wants to speak ill of the Africa Cup of Nations. It has become a norm for Europeans to speak badly whenever the AFCON is due because of the timing.
The 2025 AFCON will be played across December 2025 and January 2026, making it the first time the tournament has been played in two different years.
Former Adana Demirspor, Ankaragücü and Galatasaray winger, Hasan Sas, has blasted the Africa Cup of Nations for a lack of quality.
The Turkey legend said, “The Africa Cup of Nations, everyone in the Premier League, the German league, the French league, and the Turkish leagues is complaining.
He continued, “The guys have given away 20 million each, transfer fees, everything—the Africa Cup of Nations. There’s nothing but vuvuzelas. The pitches are bad, yellowed.
“We can’t even pick apart the players; they all look the same, and there is no quality,” Sasa concluded.
His comments will surely spark outrage among Africans. The competition kicks off on December 21 and ends on January 18th.
