Description
Football fans queue outside the Ivorian Football Federation headquarters in Abidjan in the hopes of getting their hands on tickets for the Africa Cup of Nations. Tournament organisers have been criticised for failing to fill the stadiums for matches. Fewer than 37,000 fans attended the opening game at the 60,000-seat Ebimpe Olympic Stadium, despite the game being declared a sell-out, while matches since have drawn mere thousands. Many Ivorians have complained that people have bought tickets in bulk over the internet and not managed to then sell them on. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
