Numerous concerning images have emerged ahead of the Africa Nations Championships (CHAN) opening ceremony on Saturday ‘showing’ that the Mohammed V Stadium is not ready for the event.

It is all coming to final 48 hours but some of the structures needed for the opening match between Morocco and Mauritania are delayed.

Sources close to the LOC indicate that Mohammed V Stadium has reportedly not been tested by the tournament organisers and the venue is simply not up to standard.

Electricians and carpenters are reportedly still frantically trying to complete work in the media tribune ahead of the opening ceremony on Saturday, while walkways made from scaffolding continue to lie outside the stadium.

According to various newspaper reports, the rest of the stadium is not completely finished, with naked power cables dangling from the walls of the changing rooms and workers still applying a final coat of asphalt outside the ground.

Several security doors are also reportedly waiting to be fitted at the stadium that has been closed for over two months for renovations, but there have been delays and setbacks.

Mohamed V Stadium is scheduled to host a total of nine CHAN matches that include six in the group stage, one quarterfinal, one semi-final and the final on February 4.
