South Africa head coach strongly criticises AFCON organisation in Morocco

South Africa have already played two matches at the Africa Cup of Nations, and after those games the Bafana Bafana head coach criticised the organisation of the tournament.

Details: As Hugo Broos explained, chaos had already set in before the match against Egypt. The organisation was catastrophic.

Quote: “It was chaos even before the opening whistle (in the match against Egypt). The police were not letting some people into the stadium despite them having tickets. People with tickets were denied entry, while crowds without tickets were allowed in.

My wife said she was scared. The organisation is catastrophic!

If entry to the stadium is not free, nobody comes to the matches. Nobody came to watch South Africa vs Egypt, and nobody came to our match against Angola either.

This cannot even be compared to Africa Cup of Nations tournaments in Gabon or Côte d’Ivoire.

There, you really felt like you were at a tournament. When we were travelling by bus to training, people were waving flags and greeting us. Here — nothing,” Broos said.

Reminder: In the first round of Group E at AFCON, a match between Algeria and Sudan took place. Before the game, more than a thousand Algerian fans gathered, hoping to enter the Prince Moulay Hassan Stadium for free. However, access was denied, as tickets were required for entry.
