CAF Removes Disputed Sahrawi Republic from Africa Cup of Nations Ticketing Site

The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has just removed the name and flag of the pseudo "Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic" from the official ticketing website of the CAN. It would be steps taken by the Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF) that would have pushed it to correct the situation.

Indeed, according to the site LE360: "Yesterday, Sunday, May 19, the organizing committee of the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations Egypt launched an online platform for the purchase of tickets for the competition, scheduled from June 21 to July 19, and included the name and flag of the phantom entity. The FRMF immediately reacted by sending a letter of protest to the body."

It should be noted that the organizing committee of the CAN (which will take place from June 21 to July 19) has recently changed the prices of certain ticket categories. On Twitter, the latter wrote: "The organizing committee of the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations has decided to reduce the price of third-class tickets for Egypt’s matches in the first phase of the competition from 200 to 150 pounds." That is, a price going from 113 dirhams to 85 dirhams.
