African Cup of Nations Ticket Site Sparks Controversy Over Western Sahara Listing
What bug bit the officials of the African Football Confederation to include the "Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic (SADR)" among the countries listed on the ticket sales website.
For the 2019 CAN, which is to begin in less than a month, the organizing committee has set up a website for ticket sales. As was the case during the World Cup in Russia, supporters must have a FAN ID to be able to reserve their ticket, reports the site le360, which talks about a "monumental error" by the body led by Ahmad Ahmad.
Indeed, a brief visit to the tazkarti.com site shows that "Western Sahara" is one of the countries available for the purchase of tickets for these competition matches that Egypt is to host.
Let’s bet that the Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF) will inform the CAF committee so that this error can be corrected quickly.
