Sadio Mané, the Senegalese football star, expresses his dissatisfaction by addressing a request to the Confederation of African Football (CAF).
Senegalese winger Sadio Mané has expressed his discontent with the organization of the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), especially criticizing the decision of the Confederation of African Football (CAF) to schedule matches in the mid-afternoon heat, where temperatures are often extreme.
“It is imperative to stop playing matches in the heat, as it leads to a considerable loss of energy. It is truly regrettable to schedule matches at these times,” he said following the derby win against Gambia during the first day of the group phase of AFCON, with a victory score of 3-0.
Mané, the former Liverpool star, has recently celebrated his 101st national selection with Senegal. Throughout his international career, he has accumulated remarkable statistics, finding the back of the net 39 times and providing 23 assists, figures that underscore his pivotal role at the international level.
