French Travel Ban Impacts AFCON Qualifiers - a podcast by Zayn Nabbi

Many people across the continent are incensed with French football's decision to ban African players from joining their countries ahead of crucial Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers this week. The decision was made due to the Coronavirus. However, players in Europe face no such issues despite numbers rising and talk of a third wave gathering momentum. In this bitesize edition we look at why there is a double standard for Africa, and how the football landscape needs to shift to allow Africans to get more access to their prized talents.
