Spread the wordThe Confederation of African Football (CAF) has fined the Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF) $200,000 following incidents involving ball boys during the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) 2025 final. CAF said the sanction was imposed after its Disciplinary Board concluded that the conduct of the stadium ball boys during the final breached provisions of the CAF Disciplinary Code. The governing body added that the Moroccan federation bears responsibility for the incidents that occurred at the Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium in Rabat. The final was marked by controversy, with repeated interference involving the towel used by Senegal goalkeeper Edouard Mendy during stoppages in play. The disciplinary decision brings further closure to one of the most contentious finals in Africa Cup of Nations history, following earlier sanctions imposed on both Senegal and Morocco in connection with the match.
