Senegal voices concerns over AFCON final preparations
The Senegalese national team has publicly raised concerns about security, accommodation, training facilities, and ticketing ahead of the Africa Cup of Nations final. In a communiqué, the Senegalese Football Federation (FSF) highlighted several issues encountered during preparations for the match in Morocco. The FSF emphasized the need for transparency and fair treatment for the team. The federation has called on football authorities to address these problems promptly.
Match highlights
- The FSF reported inadequate security when the Senegalese delegation arrived at the Rabat railway station, exposing players and officials to risks.
- Accommodation issues required a formal protest before the team was granted a 5-star hotel to ensure proper recovery conditions.
- The team rejected the proposed training venue at the Mohammed VI Complex, citing concerns over sporting fairness as it is the opposing team's base camp.
- Ticket allocations were criticized, with only two VVIP tickets provided for the final and overall ticket numbers deemed insufficient for demand.
- The FSF urged the Confederation of African Football and organizers to ensure fair play, equal treatment, and safety for all participants.
