KINSHASA, Congo (AP) — Street protests against Morocco’s government, provoked in part by spending on stadiums, will not change plans for the Africa Cup of Nations, the continent’s top soccer official said Monday. Morocco — which is building the world’s biggest soccer stadium to co-host the men’s World Cup in 2030 — has seen demonstrations this month in more than a dozen cities by young activists. “Morocco is plan A, Morocco is plan B and Morocco is plan C,” Confederation of African Football (CAF) president Patrice Motsepe said at a news conference after its annual meeting, when asked about changing tournament plans.
