Un communiqué publié par la Fédération sénégalaise de football, dans lequel elle exprime ses préoccupations concernant les dispositions relatives à la finale de la Coupe d’Afrique des Nations, a suscité de nombreuses réactions dans les milieux concernés, notamment en raison de ce que des sources concordantes ont qualifié de « contradiction » entre le contenu du communiqué et la réalité organisationnelle ayant marqué le déroulement du tournoi au Maroc.
A statement issued by the Senegalese Football Federation, in which it expressed concerns regarding the arrangements for the Africa Cup of Nations final, has generated widespread reactions among observers, particularly due to what consistent sources described as a “contradiction” between the content of the statement and the organizational reality that characterized the tournament in Morocco.
Dans son communiqué officiel, la Fédération sénégalaise a évoqué des observations portant sur les aspects sécuritaires et d’accueil, les conditions d’hébergement, les lieux des séances d’entraînement, ainsi que la distribution des billets, appelant la Confédération africaine de football et le comité local d’organisation à prendre des mesures correctives garantissant les principes du fair-play et de l’égalité de traitement.

Toutefois, des sources concordantes issues des milieux organisationnels et sportifs ont exprimé leur étonnement face au contenu du communiqué, estimant que la remise en cause des dispositifs sécuritaires et d’accueil ne correspond pas à ce qui a été observé tout au long du tournoi, lequel s’est déroulé dans une atmosphère marquée par la discipline et une organisation rigoureuse, sans incidents notables, que ce soit à l’intérieur des stades ou dans leurs environs.
However, consistent sources from organizational and sporting circles expressed surprise at the content of the statement, considering that questioning the security and reception arrangements does not align with what was observed throughout the tournament, which took place in an atmosphere characterized by discipline and well-structured organization, without any notable incidents inside the stadiums or in their surroundings.
Concernant les conditions d’hébergement et d’entraînement, les mêmes sources ont indiqué que l’équipe nationale sénégalaise had resided and trained under conditions described as satisfactory in the city of Tangier during previous stages of the competition, with hotel and organizational services meeting continental standards, making the timing of raising this issue questionable, selon leurs propos.
