(Reuters) - The Africa Cup of Nations will revert back to its traditional slot in January and February next year to avoid the rainy season, the football federation of host country Cameroon (FECACOOT) said on Wednesday.
"The 2021 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) will be played in Cameroon from Jan. 9 to Feb. 6 in 2021," said FECAFOOT on Twitter. "The date has been changed for meteorological reasons at Cameroon's request."
