Eto’o, Hassan And Diouf Talk About After Hayatou

The Confederation of African Football recently brought in three famous African football ambassadors for a press conference to explain how well the reign of football after ex-president Issa Hayatou is doing. Eto’o, Diouf and the Egyptian Ahmad Hassan made up this trio. During the intervention of each, not the slightest criticism and just congratulations and encouragement.

For the former Senegalese international El Hadji Diouf “ in general, the organization of the CAN is excellent “. Ahmad Hassan the Egyptian went in the same direction, especially since the competition is organized in his country: “ I am proud of what Egypt has done so far and we hope to continue like this. Everyone is doing their best to have the best tournament ever “.

Samuel Eto’o also congratulated the organization but he made an exception by lamenting the period when the competition is played: “ I first congratulate the CIF for this brilliant idea of ​​bringing together 24 teams at the CAN and organize such a tournament. We do our best to celebrate African football. Changing the period from January – February to June – July was a brilliant idea because most players lost a starting spot when the CAN took place in January “.

This is a point that is debating in the sense that apart from the countries of northern Africa, the rest of the continent is bathed in a long rainy season or in winter as far as southern Africa is concerned. .

The attendance in the stadiums is the other problem that has been mentioned. The absence of spectators in the stadiums outside the matches of the host country is a shortfall in terms of financial revenue.

The phenomenon of untimely checks, poor media coverage, the absence of facilitation, the complexity of ticketing are some of the other problems that were mentioned.

For Anthony Baffoe, the former Ghanaian international and now Deputy Secretary General of the institution “ Egypt is a great example of extraordinary organization in less than six months and I would like to congratulate the local organizing committee for their efforts to organize a memorable tournament. We had excellent pitches as well as the training grounds. We have seen some good matches so far “.
