Egypt Coach Hossam Hassan Backs Biennial AFCON for European League Benefit

• Egypt coach Hossam Hassan advocates for the Africa Cup of Nations to be held every two years, stating it would benefit European leagues.
• His stance contradicts the Confederation of African Football's recent decision to stage the tournament every four years, ending a long-standing biennial tradition.
• Egypt secured top spot in Group B with seven points after a 0-0 draw with Angola, remaining unbeaten.
• Hassan expressed confidence in his team, stating they are prepared to face any opponent in the last 16 in Agadir.
