The successful execution of the competition not only met but exceeded the expectations of the organizers, highlighting South Africa’s capability to handle such prestigious events.
The mention of Morocco as the next host and the call for them to “do even better” sets a standard for future organizers to strive for continuous improvement in the organization of the African Cup of Nations.
