Morocco fails to show for CHAN 23 clash
Incredible scenes in Algeria as World Cup semi-finalist and defending champion Morocco failed to materialise for its African Nations Championship Group C clash against Sudan.
Morocco's participation in the tournament is the subject of daily conjecture amid conflicting reports the nation has withdrawn from the tournament.
While the players are reported to have been ready to partake, an Algerian air space ban amid an ongoing diplomatic dispute between the rival north African countries, has thrown their participation into disarray.
The situation culminated in their failure to emerge on the pitch for their tournament-opener against Sudan. The match was later cancelled.
