The qualifying format clearly targets and is unfavourable to West Africa. CAF is such an embarrassment and kills African football
@HenryR, how is it not favouring West Africa, when other zones are having one representative each and west Africa two (wafu zone A and B) even though no west African team has ever won the cup which has been won twice by a cosafa zone (mamelodi sundowns).
its an eight team tournament, the host and current winner auto qualify and the remaining six zones one representative each.
