Why The 2021 African Cup of Nations Is So Controversial

Cameroon have waited almost 50 years to host the Africa Cup of Nations, despite having played in more World Cups than any other African national team, but now that they’re finally hosting the tournament, not everyone is happy.

Cameroon’s AFCON has twice been postponed, amidst allegations of corruption, a separatist inspired civil war, and a much-maligned pandemic response.

In this documentary, HITC Sevens takes a look at each of those issues, the presidency of Paul Biya, and whether the 2021 AFCON should even be going ahead at all.

    I am not degrading anything but if its European country you'd see a global outcry like Ukraine but in Africa all the leaders keep doing what they're doing

    Look, all of Africa suffers political unrest, corruption… if you will call it controversial because a country's leader is corrupt or the infrastructure is not good enough no AFCON will ever take place. However what you failed to mention and what is the outrageous thing is having European teams denying many of their players the right to join their national team or releasing them days before the competition, how that would have been if the same happened to England or France during the Euro. Going the usual western way by pointing at corruption, and democracy is a lazy analysis, poor, corrupt and non democratic nations enjoy, crave and deserve football as much as anyone else.

    I wonder if you could tell me why there are no white people on the panel in the final tonight ?

    The 'Anyhow' cut to Eddie Howe is possibly my favourite thing on the internet.

    Sleaze and cronyism may be euphemisms for corruption but they are negative euphemisms. Nobody wants to be called sleazy so how is it sugar coating? The French word to an English ear sounds like a nice word for corruption. French is often used in English in an effort to be a little fancy or intellectual. Particularly noticeable among the bien-pensant😉 Good vidéo by the way very detailed, thanks. This is a situation we never hear about and no one in the West except for France (in a bad way) gives a shit about.

    Black people should not listen to these western reporters anymore. Curruption or most curruption comes from western countries and not from Africa.
    Curruption started with the Europen cup, and ended with curruption of the world cup, it caused even deaths.
    Africa should not buy western narrative anymore.

    Biya needs to move on

    This video made me put into perspective what my friend's dad who had been working on Cameroun for many years may have been doing there, and how they could live in a huge house near Nice in the Côte d'Azur. Thank you for this end-of-innocence moment and for breaking the huge assumptions i had on Cameroun

  9. Tadhg Meagher

    I was starting to think that Biya was a bad guy then he said he didn't give a fk about cv. Long live King Biya

  10. archipiratta

    This guy is the Mugabe of West Africa. What a joke!!

  11. Manu

    Shut up bro how many Nations Cups have you covered in your life? You people talk too much.

  12. Sumaya Betty

    Great research brother, God bless you for telling the world about this. You know history of Cameroon more than the ignorant French speaking Cameroonians .

  13. Saint. M

    Why cant cameroon just give that small english people its own country

  14. Elikplim Anagli

    The number of red cards already dished out in the competition is shocking.

  15. Martin Short

    Why is anyone surprised. This is how we Africans experience life everyday.Just ask about South Africa’s Danny Jordaan’s kick backs from FIFA for the 2010 World Cup and that South Africa has these white elephant stadiums .

  16. Jeremy Phalloides

    I Appreciate this Sir

  17. Nazim DZ 24

    Now the round of 16 finished and it's probably one of the worst afcons in terms of organization.

  18. Peter Kamau

    FIFA and many other football federations are corrupt and construction of stadiums around the world are ripped with corruption scandals. Africa is no exception. Africans be careful as narratives like this are meant to portray Africans as incapable of organizing any events. Yes we have our struggles but the continent has successfully organized AFCON.

  19. Etam Bafia

    Is itabout AFCON or a Cameroon bashing video? Stop this propaganda!
