Senegal accuse Morocco of putting ‘players in danger’ before Afcon final
The FSF have complained that Senegal have been allocated only 2,850 tickets for its fans, which it termed ‘insufficient given the demand’.
“The Senegalese Football Federation (FSF) has accused Morocco’s local organising committee of undermining their preparations for Sunday’s Africa Cup of Nations final against the hosts. In a statement on social media, the FSF protested about a lack of adequate security on arrival, inadequate accommodation, confusion over training facilities and insufficient tickets being provided for Senegal fans. Having beaten Egypt in Wednesday’s semi-final in Tangier, the Senegal squad made the 75-minute journey south to the capital on the Al-Boraq high-speed train. On arrival in Rabat they were surrounded by fans and local people demanding selfies and videos released on social media show them being jostled as they made their way through the station to the team bus. …”
