Congo & Burkina Faso Coaches Decry Lack of Lodging Facilities InEquatorial Guinea

    
Seems like the logistics haven't been adequately taken care of, as some 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. Congolese coach Claude Le Roy said five of his 35-man delegation 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.
Hmmm, Cameroon will be arriving there tomorrow. I hope this will not be their fate, and that their rooms had been booked well in advance.

They should not put people's lives at risk oh. I don't understand why they didn't postpone it till every thing was in place. All this rush and partially done rooms will put players and staff at risk.
