SA Football Association (Safa) has written to the Confederation of African Football (Caf) to complain about Liberia’s apparent arrangement to move their 2023 Afcon qualifiers home fixtures to Morocco.
Liberia, Morocco, Bafana Bafana and Zimbabwe are in Group K of the qualifiers for the tournament to be staged in Ivory Coast.
In a letter to Caf secretary-general Vernon Mosengo-Omba, Safa CEO Tebogo Motlanthe says this will be going against fair play principles if it’s allowed. “Safa hereby raises and officially objects to the arrangement as it goes against the principle of fair play because the Morocco Football Association will travel less and enjoy the benefit of home ground advantage more than anyone in the group.
