The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has reiterated that the African Cup of Nations (AFCON) is a major tournament after it was dismissed by Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher.

Carragher belittled the tournament while speaking as a pundit on Sky Sports during Liverpool’s 2-0 win against Manchester City in the Premier League on Sunday.

The game saw Mo Salah deliver an assist and a goal as he continued his impressive form this season.

However, Carragher stated that despite his form, Salah’s chances of winning the Ballon d’Or this season could be hindered by Egypt’s lack of success on the global stage.
