Senegal's football team is in Morocco for the big Africa Cup final. But they're not just focused on the game. They're worried about safety.
When the team arrived in Rabat, fans rushed them. Players had to push through crowds just to get to their bus. The Senegalese Football Federation (FSF) isn't happy. They say the hotel isn't great. They're also upset about the tickets for their fans. And they don't like that they were given the same training pitch as Morocco.
The FSF says there wasn't enough security. They think players and staff were in danger. Coach Pape Thiaw agrees. He says what happened wasn't right. He thinks his players could have been hurt. He hopes this doesn't happen between "brother countries. "
Senegal wants to win the Africa Cup again. They won it last time in 2022. But first, they need to feel safe. They hope Morocco can fix these issues. So, they can focus on the game.
