The Senegalese Football Federation (FSF) has announced an urgent press conference to be held later today. The conference aims to clarify concerns raised in a statement released last night regarding perceived shortcomings in the preparations for the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) final.
In its official statement, the FSF expressed serious concerns about the organizational aspects of the tournament. Specifically, the federation highlighted inadequate arrangements made for the Senegalese national team upon their arrival. These issues reportedly include security arrangements, which the FSF views as a potential threat to the safety of players and coaching staff.
Furthermore, the FSF indicated that problems arose concerning the team’s hotel accommodations. These issues, they claim, were only resolved after a formal complaint was lodged by the federation, adding to the already heightened tension ahead of the crucial continental match.
On the sporting front, the Senegalese FA voiced its strong objection to holding training sessions at the proposed venue, alleging that it serves as the training ground for their opponents. They argue this arrangement violates the principle of fair play. The FSF also stated they have not received official confirmation regarding the designated training location.
Regarding fan support, the federation criticized the limited number of tickets allocated to Senegalese supporters. They also noted the lack of availability of VIP and VVIP tickets, arguing that the current allocation does not reflect the high demand and the significance of the final match.
The upcoming press conference is expected to provide further details and explanations regarding these points. All eyes across the African continent are fixed on the final, which is expected to be held in an ideal organizational atmosphere.
