AFCON 2021: Six Reported Dead, Many Injured At Cameroon Vs Comoros Match pic.twitter.com/M7FR21YnfA

Last Monday, at least 8 fans were killed in a stampede at the Yaounde Olympic Stadium in Cameroon, most of whom are suspected of not having tickets, while trying to enter the stadium to watch the host country’s match in the price of the final against Comoros.
This is the first disaster of its kind at the tournament, which is the continent’s biggest sporting event, and has already been hit hard by the organisation.
During the tournament – organized by Cameroon for the second time in its history after it previously hosted the competition version in 1972 – a number of naive organizational errors occurred in the first round, as the start was with the Egypt-Nigeria match, which was stopped by Gambian referee Bakari Jasama several times due to the invalidity of the balls used in the meeting. .
And it seemed that the air pressure of the balls was not enough, so Jasama had to change 3 balls within 23 minutes during the match that took place in Garoua.
And the organizing committee of the tournament made another mistake during the meeting of Mauritania and Gambia in the group stage, where the Mauritanian team was surprised by playing the old national anthem instead of the current anthem, forcing the organizers to stop it and try to play the new anthem, but they were unable to do so, so that the Gambian anthem was played only before the start of the tournament. The match was delayed by 45 minutes.
