According to reports, the Confederation of African Football (CAF) is considering postponing the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.
The competition is set to take place in Cote d’lvoire next summer.
The harsh weather conditions in the West African country at this time of year have caused concern.
CAF officials are concerned that the situation will reoccur next summer, and that holding the competition during the rainy season may be a bad idea.
“We are considering it; it is one of the possibilities,” CAF Secretary General Veron Mosengo-Omba, told Le Monde.
“We asked Ivorian meteorologists to report to us on rainfall history in Côte d’Ivoire in June and July, but also to share their projections with us.”
The Teranga Lions of Senegal won the last edition of the competition in Cameroon.
