Discussing AFCON scheduling
The user shared a thought in Chinese about the struggles with the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) being scheduled during the European football season, suggesting maybe the Big Five leagues could transfer funds to the CAF. AFCON is typically held in January due to weather considerations, but this creates conflicts with European leagues. Moving it is tricky because of factors like climate, stadium availability, local calendars, and broadcast revenue. Even past adjustments to June/July faced issues, like the heat in Cameroon causing a shift back to January-February.Exploring AFCON concerns
The user brought up the idea of leagues financially supporting the CAF, so I need to consider structural issues like solidarity payments and FIFA's Club Protection Program for player injuries. A potential solution could involve standardizing the global calendar from 2025 to 2028. Currently, AFCON 2023 was held in early 2024 in Ivory Coast and 2025 is set for Morocco, but conflicts with the expanded Club World Cup might push it to January 2026. I’ll craft a thoughtful reply in Chinese addressing these frustrations and suggesting options like longer winter breaks or moving AFCON to a cooler season.Considering AFCON scheduling
Some are discussing switching AFCON to every four years, but the CAF wants to stick with the biennial schedule for revenue reasons. The user’s suggestion of “集体转账” is amusing, so I should explain the constraints such as climate windows, the rainy season, and reliance on TV slots. Moving it to summer is often tricky in sub-Saharan Africa. For example, the 2019 tournament in Egypt was held in June-July, but 2021's event in Cameroon moved to January-February because of rainy season issues.Discussing financial compensation for AFCON
FIFA does have the Club Protection Program for injuries, and they pay national federations for participation, plus clubs receive compensation when players are released for the World Cup. However, for confederation tournaments, standardized club compensation isn’t in place. Leagues paying CAF wouldn’t directly resolve climate issues but could help with scheduling. Increasing efficiency in that area might involve proposing options like establishing a protected January window every odd year and encouraging leagues to adopt longer winter breaks, similar to Bundesliga practices.Suggesting AFCON scheduling solutions
I’m considering a few pragmatic options for improving AFCON scheduling. First, rotating timing based on climate could work: June-July for North Africa during the dry season and January-February for Central/West Africa's rainy season, announced with plenty of notice. Second, expanding FIFA’s Club Protection Program and creating solidarity payments for clubs releasing players to AFCON could help. Lastly, reducing domestic cup replays and adjusting schedules can limit fixture congestion. I’ll wrap up by asking which club the user supports or which players they might be missing.
哈哈这个“集体转账”确实说到痛点了。AFCON卡在欧陆赛季中段,主要是这些现实掣肘叠在一起:
能做的务实选项(比单纯“转账”更可落地):
真要“出钱解决”,也许是FIFA牵头设一个面向AFCON的俱乐部补偿池,五大联赛和转播商共同出资,换取更可预期的赛历与伤病保障。
你关注的是哪家俱乐部?我们可以按它的赛程,把AFCON影响期的轮换/伤缺做个小表,看看最现实的缓解办法。
