Hugo Broos, the head coach of the South African national team, made strong statements ahead of the highly anticipated match against Cameroon, scheduled for today, Sunday, as part of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations. In his remarks, he expressed his dissatisfaction with certain organizational aspects of the tournament.

During the press conference prior to the match, the Belgian coach revealed that his team's delegation was struggling due to the long distance between their accommodation and the training ground, emphasizing that this situation is not in line with the requirements of a continental tournament of the scale of the Africa Cup of Nations.

Bruce said that the team needs about 45 minutes to reach the training ground, considering that the ideal duration in such tournaments should not exceed 15 to 20 minutes, as this has a direct impact on the players' comfort and readiness.

The South African coach explained that these organizational details, despite their apparent simplicity, play an important role in both mental and physical aspects, especially in the knockout stages that require the highest levels of focus and readiness.

Bruce's statements confirm that his reservations about the organization persist, as he had previously made similar criticisms during his country's match against Egypt, citing what he described at the time as organizational difficulties related to the entry of fans into the stadium.
