😱 Drama at the Africa Cup, referee switched after Morocco request

Big trouble in the Africa Cup! The Moroccan Federation requested a change of referee for their match against Cameroon and the CAF has granted it!

To put it in context, the Africa Cup is being held in Morocco, the home of the big favorite, and there is a lot of pressure on Walid Regragui’s men. It’s a historic opportunity to win the title with perhaps the best generation in the country’s history?

Well, with that atmosphere surrounding the competition, there is a lot of indignation in the Cameroonian team, so much so that they are going to file an appeal.

All this indignation, according to ‘L’Equipe’, is due to the fact that the CAF (Confederation of African Football) had appointed Amin Mohamed Omar, an Egyptian referee, for the Morocco-Cameroon match, but later changed him to Dahane Beida, a Mauritanian referee.

And ‘Sportnewsafrica’ reports that the Royal Moroccan Football Federation was irritated by the initial choice.
