CAN 2023: AFTER REFUSING THE “CITY CAN”, WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THE HOTEL WHERE MOROCCO IS STAYING?

The first team to settle in Ivory Coast in preparation for CAN 2023, the Moroccan selection, which is based in San Pedro, will spend its stay at the Sophia hotel. And the Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF) did not go into detail, since it reserved the entire establishment for the entire time that the Atlas Lions will spend in this city. The choice of the Sophia hotel came after the refusal of the Moroccan coach, Walid Regragui, to see his team be accommodated in the “Cité CAN” of San Pedro, the residence made available to the Moroccan delegation by the organizing committee of the CAN 2023. Accommodation therefore Regragui deplored the state. According to Moroccan media, the Sophia hotel, which belongs to a Moroccan national residing in Ivory Coast, has 74 rooms, an air-conditioned restaurant and another on the beach, in addition to a terrace opening directly onto a private beach. There is also a meeting room and a second room reserved for press conferences. And so that the Moroccan team can feel comfortable and reside there in good conditions, the FRMF has carried out the redevelopment of the different spaces of this hotel and the equipment of its kitchen, which will be supervised by Moroccan chefs. Morocco, it must be remembered, is in Group F along with DR Congo, Tanzania and Zambia.
