		The first two African Nations Cups had had only three participiants and the first real African World Cup qualification with an own African place at the finals to play for was the one for 1970.
		It is a bit dangerous to distribute such commonplaces but West Africans have been more magicians and especially in the recent past physically strong athletes whereas the strength of the North Africans is their organisation and cooperative game.
		North Africans in the meantime have constantly improved structures and organisation especially off the field and because of this they have been able to match the rapid development of the rest of Africa and still claim their share of success.

	CNN.com - African football: Culture of neglect - May 11, 2001
		At many African matches, police -- ostensibly called upon to provide security -- often sit on the turf and become spectators themselves, fans for rival sides routinely mix in the stands, and admissions controls are inadequate at best.
		In international matches between teams from different African countries, general organisational oversight falls to the Confederation of African Football, a 52-member controlling body based in Cairo, Egypt.
		Inglis traces many football stadium tragedies to a basic lack of security controls, including an inability to count -- and control -- the numbers of people entering the stadium, with the consequent risks of overcrowding.
