Manchester United legend, Rio Ferdinand has called on the Confederation of African Football, CAF, to hold the Moroccan Football Association to account over the AFCON towel controversy.
Recall that ball boys were caught on camera taking the towels of Senegal goalkeeper Edouard Mendy during the AFCON final.
The same incident occurred during Nigeria’s AFCON semi-final encounter against Morocco as ball boys took away Super Eagles goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali’s towels.
Ferdinand has now demanded an explanation, labelling the actions of the ball boys as ‘insane’.
“The worst one (during the AFCON) was the ball boys trying to get the towels to stop the goalkeeper from drying his hands. That was insane,” Ferdinand said on the Rio Presents Podcast.
“Someone has to get a hold of the Moroccan FA at some point. We need explanations.
“What right do they’ve to not let goalkeepers dry their hands? It is a part of the game.”
