The government of the Republic of Benin has subsidized tickets for their crucial 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying match against Senegal on Saturday.
The government paid for the entire match tickets to afford fans the opportunity to cheer the national team for the must-win game at the General Mathieu Kerekou Friendship Stadium in Cotonou.
The match tickets are available at designated places including the Headquarters of the Beninoise Football Federation in Porto-Novo, Charles de Gaulle Stadium, Cotonou Hall of Arts, amongst others.

The Cheetahs languish at the bottom of Group L with two points after four games, but they can revive their chances of qualifying for next year’s tournament in Ivory Coast by beating Senegal.
Gernot Rohr’s side are yet to win a game in the qualifiers while the reigning African champions who have qualified for the tournament are yet to drop a point after four games.
Benin have only made four appearances in the Africa Cup of Nations, with their last outing dating back to Egypt 2019.
