The Minister of Sports in South Africa sent a message to his Moroccan counterpart, congratulating the kingdom on the exceptional organization of the Africa Cup, stating that it was carried out with genuine international standards.
The minister mentioned that the organization, professionalism in structuring the tournament, and the general atmosphere in the host cities have set a new standard for our continent, showcasing Africa in its finest light.
He emphasized that he was particularly impressed by the level of facilities provided for the participating teams, and that the hotel arrangements were excellent, ensuring comfort, safety, and an environment allowing elite athletes to prepare and perform at the highest level. Additionally, the transport logistics – from well-equipped modern buses to the efficiency of movement between training sites, stadiums, and accommodation – reflect meticulous planning and significant investment in infrastructure.
In the message, the minister stated that in cities “like Rabat, Casablanca, Tangier, Agadir, Fes, and Marrakech, the stadiums stand out as symbols of Morocco’s ambition and capabilities. Their design, renewal, and modernization – from spectator facilities and field visibility to safety and accessibility – have garnered wide admiration. The quality of the playing surfaces was exceptional: consistent and proper playing surfaces that allow African football to express its artistic and tactical richness.”
The minister said that this organization heralds an exceptional organization for the 2030 World Cup, and that Morocco sends a clear message to the world that Africa is capable of organizing major international sports events at the highest standards.
These official statements from a government official in a country that does not share a friendship with Morocco contradict the statements of the South African coach himself, who criticized the Moroccan organization and spoke about the absence of the South African atmosphere, as well as serving as a message to all skeptics and detractors of the organization.
