Organizers attempt to get fans into the stadiums Africa Cup of Nations by offering free tickets to fill up the stadiums.

With the competition having suffered low patronage in matches not involving the home team, organizers have been handing out tickets to encourage better attendance but with little success.

They will try again on Sunday when Ghana and Tunisia meet in Franceville in the last of the quarter-finals.

"We are giving away free tickets to students and workers and also free transport," said the home organising committee's spokesman Louis-Claude Mouzieoud

The other match in Libreville between the home team and Mali is over-subscribed.
