It’s a significant achievement for the organizing committee of the 12th edition of the African Cup of Nations under 20, as all 10,000 tickets put on sale have been sold out. The matches scheduled for the first day of group matches (Group A) will be played behind closed doors, and the host country Algeria will face Benin at 5:30 p.m., followed by a highly anticipated clash between Ghana and Egypt at 8:30 p.m.
The demand for tickets has been high, with reports of prices reaching up to 600 dinars on the black market, compared to the official price of 50 dinars. This level of interest and ticket sales is a positive sign for the tournament’s popularity and indicates the enthusiasm of football fans in Algeria.
