WHY THE NEXT WAFCON SHOULDN'T BE HOSTED BY MOROCCO:
The next WAFCON shouldn't be hosted by Morocco with the following reasons
1. Soccer fan base population: There are other better countries in Africa that love football entirely like it must not be their team that's playing before they fill up the stadium to watch that match being played live , countries such as Nigeria, South Africa and Ghana can offer you that and stand a better chance than Morocco.
2. Population and facilities: countries like Nigeria that have a population of above 200 million people won't pose any difficulties selling tickets by CAF. In Nigeria, there are a lot of states that have good hotels and stadiums for that especially Lagos, Akwa ibom , Abuja , Rivers state etc , even other states that their respective stadiums can be touched and they will be ready for that.
3. Grudges and Sentiments; Moroccans aren't people of free heart, they allow themselves to be controlled by grudges and Sentiments to the point that they only watch their own team alone , use powerful laser light on other players causing them unnecessary distractions and energy drop while playing football, use Nigeria vs Morocco as a case study, sentiment came in when Morocco believed that they will be the one to lift the trophy accusing referee of not officiating very well, seeking for Plumtre and Alozie recall from Falcons questioning their origin as not being Nigeria but all these didn't happen at the start of the tournament.
4. Regional experience: Morocco being North Africa have hosted this tournament, other regions like West, Southern, or East Africa should host this time around to attain regional balance and share of experiences by the players , the technical crews and the audiences who would love to travel to watch the tournament, it will be a moment of experience in all ramifications.
5. The Trophy home or region: The region or the country who possessed the trophy acting as the defending champion should host the tournaments, it will be a moment of " we have come to take the trophy from you" the defending champion will be struggling to retain the title while others will be trying to take it from them and become the next champion and host.
6. Security: I think there is no country that's hosting this tournament that can't be able to offer adequate security for the peaceful hosting, no Africa country that doesn't have one or two insecurity related issues.
