CAF President Patrice Motsepe has confirmed that Africa's biggest names will be at the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) next year in Morocco and has no concerns they will be dissuaded to participate by European clubs and governing bodies. Speaking to the podcast recently in London, just after CAF held discussions with Saudi Arabia about future investment on the continent, Motsepe opened up about the importance of having the confederation on a sound financial footing.
