Bafana Bafana’s Hugo Broos expresses dissatisfaction with FIFA

Broos was speaking to the media on Monday at SAFA House and lashed out at the Switzerland-based federation. He said per News24:

"This is really not fair. First of all, they let two countries play in that stadium, in that location, very bad location, very bad stadium, very bad pitch. For Zimbabwe, it was also a very important game there, and now suddenly Ghana can play their game in a paradise. This is really a paradise if you compare it to Ethiopia. So, they have to travel, but it is a direct flight. This is not fair, and I don't understand FIFA.”

Together with Bafana, Ghana is challenging for the number one spot in Group G and the Belgian feels the move by FIFA gives an unfair advantage to the Black Stars who sit number two in the group.
