CASABLANCA, Morocco (AP) — Despite the availability of haptic, or touch, devices for visually impaired supporters at the Africa Cup of Nations, none will be available when Morocco plays Senegal in Sunday’s final in front of up to 69,500 supporters.

Blind fans were given touch tech to follow Africa Cup games, but not for the final
