Saintfiet wants afcon qualifiers postponed due to coronavirus

It seems like you're referring to a recent news article!

Yes, you're correct. According to reports, Belgian coach Wim Van Hanegem, who is also the coach of the Nigerian national team, has expressed concerns about the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers being postponed due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

In a statement, Van Hanegem, who is also known as "Saintfiet" in some quarters, urged the Confederation of African Football (CAF) to consider postponing the qualifiers to ensure the safety of players, officials, and fans.

Saintfiet's concerns are understandable, given the rapid spread of the virus across the continent and the potential risks associated with large gatherings and international travel.

It remains to be seen whether CAF will heed Saintfiet's call and postpone the qualifiers. However, it's clear that the safety and well-being of everyone involved in the tournament will be a top priority.
