Former football coach Hamza Annour has publicly criticized the organization of the latest Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), describing it as a "shameful" tournament. Annour, who previously coached Golbey and now resides in Morocco, made the comments in an interview, contrasting the event with the preceding edition.
Annour stated that the continent had gone from hosting "the best AFCON in history" to the "AFCON of shame." His criticism appears directed at the organizational and logistical aspects of the most recent tournament, though specific verified details of the complaints are limited in available reports.
The previous AFCON, widely praised for its successful organization and vibrant atmosphere, set a high benchmark. The shift in perception highlighted by Annour points to ongoing challenges in maintaining consistent standards for major continental sporting events.
