    Would changing the date of the @CAF_Online competition, so Europe-based players can return home, be a good thing? http://bbc.in/2taxvmG  📻pic.twitter.com/AVEwazkDPI

        No. Europe-based players who respect national team duty enough will make a point of showing up.

        Plus, now that more players are moving to middle east, what's the chance we'll again be required to align AFCON dates with Chinese calendar?

        If the shift is proposed because of African Europe based players, they would still not return until AFCON is made attractive and prioritized

        Only makes sense, most of Africa's best ply their trade Europe, changing dates will mean we will have them in a right frame of mind.

        We are not changing it becos we are been dictated to, rather, we are changing it to favour our ever growing Euro-base players.
