CAF Imposes Heavy Sanctions On Senegal, Morocco After AFCON Final Fallout
Iliman Cheikh Baroy Ndiaye: The Confederation Africaine de Football (CAF) disciplinary board imposed sanctions on the Federation Senegalaise de Football (FSF), the Federation Royale Marocaine de Football (FRMF) and certain players and officials for the incidents during the CAF Africa Cup of Nations Morocco 2025 Final, which violated the CAF Disciplinary Code.
The controversy unfolded deep into stoppage time when Morocco was awarded a penalty following a VAR review, moments after Senegal had a goal disallowed. Outraged by the decision, Senegal head coach Pape Thiaw led his players off the field, halting the match in Rabat and sparking confusion inside the stadium.
After a delay of around 16 minutes, play resumed when the Senegal players returned to the pitch. Morocco’s Brahim Diaz failed to convert the penalty, and the match proceeded into extra time, where Senegal sealed victory through a stunning strike from Pape Gueye.
