Egyptian Football Association president Samir Zaher voiced his anger with Ghana's organization of the African Cup of Nations 26th edition.

"Representatives from the 16 teams participating in the tournament held a meeting to discuss protesting against the difficulties they have had since arriving here," he said.

"Nothing is going well. Communication utilities are poor and there are many flight troubles," Zaher told Arab and Radio Television (ART) via phone from Ghana.

Many teams faced troubles since arriving in the West African country, including five-time African champions Egypt.

The Pharaohs had to wait for few hours to fly to Kumasi from Ghana capital Accra since no plane was available for the trip.

Ghana coach Claude LeRoy was frustrated after seeing his side fail to play their usual flowing game against Guinea due to the poor state of the pitch.

A power cut delayed the kick-off of Mali's game against Benin on Monday night.

"I don't blame Ghana, I believe African Confederation of Football (CAF) are fully responsible for what is happening."
