Local hotel staff with direct contact to players have been replaced by those also ferried from Morocco, while security agents have also been brought in. For the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, the Cameroon delegation traveled with foodstuff from home and its own chefs,” Bayen explained. “Now, if the Morocco delegation is going the extra mile to hire an entire hotel, use their own hotel staff and restrict access, it is easy to understand this had to do with health precautions linked to Covid-19. It should be recalled that Morocco refused to relocate from Douala to a hotel in Limbe ahead of their semi final game druring the African Nations Championship (Chan) in Cameroon early last year due to security reasons. They will face four-time champions Ghana, Gabon and debutants Comoros in Group C at the Ahmadou Ahidjo Stadium in Yaounde.
