Afcon 2015: Congo & Burkina Faso Coaches Complain Bitterly, We Can't Find Hotels To Stay

Teams arriving at the Africa Cup of Nations in Equatorial Guinea have been forced to search for places to sleep because of a lack of hotel rooms. Congo coach Claude Le Roy said five of his 35-strong party attending the tournament did not have accommodation. He revealed that the hotel the bulk of his team are in lacks running water and has exposed electrical cables.

Burkina Faso coach Paul Put also criticised facilities, saying the event should have been delayed until June.

It will be recalled that Equatorial Guinea is staging the tournament at short notice because Morocco was stripped of the right in November due to Ebola outbreak in the country.

They however have to find a way of surviving because the tournament will start on Saturday to end on Sunday, 8 February. They still have three weeks to go. So unfortunate.
