Winner of Lesotho (3-1) on the first day of the CAN 2025 qualifiers, the Central African Republic has ideally started its qualifying campaign. The Fauves will try to confirm these three points taken this Tuesday during their trip to Franceville to face Gabon. But the atmosphere is not at its best.
According to information from Sport News Africathe players are threatening to strike. They are demanding the bonuses for the victory against Lesohto, which have still not been received, although they were supposed to be given to them before their departure for Gabon. Faced with this situation, the team is threatening not to play the match against the Panthers and is demanding that the bonuses be received as agreed.
Currently 2nd in Group B with 3 points, behind Morocco (6 points), the Central African Republic has the opportunity to make a big difference in the standings in the event of a positive result against Gabon and to keep its distance in the standings from a direct opponent. It remains to be seen whether the threat of a strike will be carried out in the event of non-receipt of the bonuses.
