Too many games ‘not good for football’ – African boss Motsepe

In a recent interview, African football boss Patrice Motsepe expressed concerns about the impact of having too many games on the quality of football being played.

Motsepe, who is the president of the Confederation of African Football (CAF), believes that the current congested schedule is not only detrimental to the physical well-being of the players, but also affects the overall standard of the sport.

He emphasized the importance of having a balanced and sustainable fixture list that allows players to perform at their best without risking burnout or injuries.

According to Motsepe, the focus should be on quality rather than quantity when it comes to the number of games played in a season.

He called for a collaborative effort between football associations, clubs, and governing bodies to address this issue and come up with solutions that prioritize the welfare of the players.

Many top players have voiced similar concerns in the past, citing the demanding nature of modern football and the toll it takes on their bodies.

Motsepe’s comments have sparked a debate within the football community, with some agreeing with his stance and others defending the current structure of the game.

Ultimately, the goal is to find a balance that allows for a competitive and exciting sporting experience while also ensuring the long-term health and sustainability of the sport.

It remains to be seen what changes will be implemented as a result of these discussions, but Motsepe’s words have certainly started an important conversation about the future of football.
