Algeria’s Sports Minister has appealed to national team supporters not to travel for the Afcon.

There are a few standard hotels in Mongomo where the Desert Foxes will be competing against South Africa, Ghana and Senegal. The best have been allotted to the national teams with the rest deemed to be below par.

“The conditions are inappropriate,” Minister Mohammed Tahmi spoke against the proposed movement of the fans for the 30th edition of the Afcon in Equatorial Guinea at a meeting on Tuesday.

If the pleas of the Algerian government are heeded to, the Christian Gourcuff side may not be enjoying the traditional support they are used to at recent major tournaments.

“According to our information, the movement of our fans in Equatorial Guinea will be very difficult given the lack of accommodation facilities in the country.”

“It is so difficult to find accommodation facilities and this will even complicate the work of our journalists there,” Tahmi admonished.

About 2500 fans followed the Desert Foxes to Brazil for the 2014 Fifa World Cup.
