Spread the wordThe Confederation of African Football (CAF) has imposed suspensions and heavy financial penalties on Senegal and Morocco following disciplinary breaches during and after the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) 2025 final in Morocco. CAF said its Disciplinary Board found that several incidents during the final violated provisions of the CAF Disciplinary Code, including rules on fair play, conduct and respect for match officials. Two Senegal players, Iliman Cheikh Baroy Ndiaye and Ismaila Sarr, were each handed two-match suspensions for improper behaviour towards the referee. CAF confirmed that a protest submitted by Morocco, alleging regulatory violations by Senegal during the final, was reviewed and rejected. The continental body said the sanctions underline its commitment to discipline, integrity and respect for match officials at all CAF competitions.
