Mulumbu: Africa CAN Debate – Every 4 Years?

« No to the football CAN every four years! »: this is the battle cry of our Congolese guest this Tuesday, January 6, after the decision of South African Patrice Motsepe, the president of the African Football Confederation, to move the famous tournament from once every two years to once every four years. Youssouf Mulumbu was the captain of the Léopards du Congo Kinshasa and notably played for PSG. He now publishes the novel Advicepublished by Jets d’encre. For him, the African CAF of Patrice Motsepe must resist the pressures of the world Fifa of Gianni Infantino. He says it into Christophe Boisbouvier’s microphone.
