CAN 2025: Empty Seats & Ticket Black Market?

On the bus going to the Prince Moulay Hassan stadium in Rabat, for the meeting between Algeria and Sudan on Wednesday, Salah Daoud grumbled: “It’s a mistake to have Algeria play here, it’s going to be packed! » But the prophecy of the 70-year-old Franco-Algerian, who came specially from Arles (Bouches-du-Rhône) for the 2025 African Cup of Nations, was not really verified, since the meeting planned in this 22,000-seat venue was played in front of an official crowd of 16,115 spectators.

And again! The Algerian Federation had offered a valuable welcome to many supporters a few hours before the match by arranging to meet them in front of the Hôtel des Fennecs.
