The oddities of African football do not stop. The pioneers of the communication sites shared a video clip of a person entering a stadium on the back of a donkey and handing the referee the ball in the final of the African Cup of Nations.
???? AMAZING!
While in other countries the ball arrives by remote-controlled car, in the Cape Verde Cup final it arrives by donkey.

The incident in a stadium in Cape Verde provoked a wave of sarcastic reactions. And the official page of the “ÁFRICA FUTBOLERA” network published saying, “At a time when many countries are handing over a match referee to the ball in multiple and advanced ways, using small cars or kites.”
She added, “However, those in charge of the league in Cape Verde wanted to draw attention to this step, which received many reactions.”
It is noteworthy that football in Cape Verde attracted attention in the last edition of the African Nations after its team succeeded in achieving the best result in its history after reaching the quarter-finals in the continental championship.
