South Africa head coach Hugo Broos has blasted the Confederation of African Football, CAF, after being less than impressed with his team’s training facilities ahead of their Round of 16 clash with the Indomitable Lions of Cameroon.
Bafana Bafana, who played all their group games in Marrakesh, are already in Rabat for the clash with Cameroon.
Broos complained that their preparations have been beset by sub-standard logistics.
“I’m not so happy with the current situation,” Broos told ESPN.
“We are 45 minutes away from our training pitch, so that means that, like yesterday, we were more than three hours away for training; 45 minutes to drive, one hour 15 training, then 45 minutes to drive back.
“Such things don’t make me happy. In a tournament like the AFCON, training pitches can be closer to the hotel than 45 minutes away, we lost an hour and a half travelling on the bus.
“This has never happened before, not in Gabon, not in the Ivory Coast, it’s never happened until now in Morocco I’ve never had to drive more than 15-20 minutes. The training pitch should have been closer to the hotel.”
