« Tout ce qui concerne le foot africain se passe au Maroc » : Le coup de gueule de la star nigériane Azizat Oshoala
An exceptional player, Azizat Oshoala is one of the stars of Nigeria's Super Falcons. The six-time CAF Women's Ballon d'Or winner recently criticized Morocco for hosting most major African football events and competitions.
“Everything related to African football happens in Morocco. Awards, tournaments and everything else… It’s starting to get tiresome. Other countries need to take responsibility. It feels like Morocco has become the new headquarters,” the Nigerian striker wrote on her digital platforms.
Morocco's growing influence on African football
It is clear that the striker wants a wider inclusion of other African nations in the organization of continental competitions. Azizat would, for example, like Nigeria to apply to co-host the AFCON with other neighbouring nations. "Cameroon, Ghana, Benin and Togo are all on our doorstep...you can't tell me that two of these five neighbouring countries cannot co-host the AFCON" she said.
Morocco's growing influence on African football in recent years must be acknowledged. In addition to the football tournaments and competitions regularly held in Morocco, some African countries whose stadiums are not approved by CAF prefer to play their international matches in the Kingdom.
