Eritrea’s football federation has made the decision not to participate in the upcoming African Cup of Nations (CAN) scheduled to take place in Morocco. Eritrea was slated to compete in the preliminary round against South Sudan, but the federation has opted not to send the national team for undisclosed reasons.
As a result of Eritrea’s withdrawal, South Sudan advances to the next round by default. Meanwhile, other teams like Mauritius and Mauritania are gearing up to face each other in the preliminary round, with the first leg scheduled for April 12.
Unfortunately, further details regarding Eritrea’s decision are not provided in the information available.
