Summary
The Africa Cup in Morocco faced issues with empty seats at "sold-out" matches, notably during the host nation's game against Mali at the nearly 70,000-capacity Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium in Rabat. Despite Morocco and Algeria selling out group-stage tickets, the vacant seats indicate potential organizational or distribution challenges.
