Days 1 & 2 of Morocco 2025 AFCON qualifiers played
The first two playing days of the Total Energies Africa Cup of Nations Morocco 2025 played over 2-10 September made it known once more that no team should afford taking their opponents for granted. For example, Sudan defeat of Nigeria 1-0; Angola over Ghana 1-0; South Africa drawing with Uganda 2-2; Tanzania winners over Guinea 2-1, and the foregoing is unassailable. Amid these results, Cameroon continue rubbing their once venerated image as two technical staffs, one appointed by the federation and the other by the sports ministry continue to accompany the Lions in their outings with the federation’s choice officiating during games after the ministry’s choice has supervised camps. 24 hours after their game with Zimbabwe, the federation has rebutted a face book publication suggesting that head coach, Marc Brys has been given a 3-month suspension by the federation for what they purportedly describe as unprofessional and unethical behavior by the Belgian technician forced down the throats of the federation by the sports minister.
