AFCON 2015 Qualifiers – Tunisia Implements Stadium Restrictions for Egypt Clash
Ahead of their final Group G qualifier against Egypt, the Tunisian government has announced strict measures regulating access to the stadium for the upcoming fixture. The match, which will take place during the sixth round of the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers, will see limited attendance and age restrictions.
Key Measures:
Only 6,000 supporters will be allowed inside the stadium.
Fans under the age of 18 are prohibited from attending the match.
These limitations have been imposed for security and organizational reasons, despite Tunisia already having secured qualification for the tournament.
Context:
Tunisia clinched its place at AFCON 2015 after earning a draw in Botswana, ensuring their spot in Equatorial Guinea. For Egypt, however, this match still carries significant weight, as their qualification hopes hinge on the outcome.
These restrictions are part of a broader trend in North African football, where crowd control and safety have become a top priority for public authorities during high-profile fixtures.
