Egypt captain Mohamed Salah praised Morocco’s Africa Cup of Nations organisation after Egypt reached the semi finals, while Cameroon football federation president Samuel Eto’o sent a public letter thanking the host nation despite Cameroon’s elimination.
Salah spoke after Egypt beat holders Ivory Coast 3 2 on Saturday to reach the last four, Reuters reported, and was quoted by Le Parisien thanking Morocco for organisation, order and security at the tournament.
Eto’o, writing on behalf of the Cameroonian Football Federation after Cameroon lost 2 0 to hosts Morocco in the quarter finals, congratulated Morocco and praised what he called the exemplary organisation and the welcome given to Cameroon’s delegation and supporters, according to the letter published by French and Moroccan outlets.
The tributes came weeks after South Africa coach Hugo Broos criticised security and logistics at matches in Morocco, calling the organisation deplorable in comments reported on Dec. 29.
