Mohamed Salah believes Egypt would have performed better at the Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) if the Egyptian Football Association (EFA) hadn’t been lax about the players’ welfare.
The pre-tournament favourites were eliminated by South Africa in the Round of 16 following a 1-0 defeat at Cairo International Stadium, which disappointed millions of Egyptians who expected an eighth Afcon title.
Salah, who scored twice at the finals, spoke of the EFA’s appalling treatment of the players during the showpiece.
