Top African football officials will hold a video conference Tuesday to discuss the way forward amid the coronavirus pandemic, which halted football last March apart from in Burundi.
Issues to be discussed by CAF president Ahmad Ahmad and his executive include the 24-team Africa Cup of Nations, which is scheduled for Cameroon from January 9 to February 6.
By late Saturday the most industrialised country in the continent had reported 131,800 COVID-19 cases and 2,413 deaths.World Cup African champions Algeria, Tunisia, Nigeria, Cameroon, Mali, Egypt, Ghana, Senegal, Morocco and the Democratic Republic of Congo are seeded to win the four-team mini-leagues.
If only the November window is available, the qualifying could still be completed if the organisers scrap results from the first two rounds and choose one of two other options. Defending champions Morocco are due to defend a title they won for the first time two years ago by overwhelming 10-man Nigeria 4-0 in rain-lashed Casablanca.
The second option is staging the semi-finals on September 4-6 and September 11-13 with the final on September 25.
