Fan trouble, players refusing to compete, controversial refereeing decisions, and a missed penalty were all flashpoints in a memorable match that was eventually won by Senegal.
Senegalese stars Cheikh Baroy Ndiaye and Ismaïla Sarr were also handed two-game bans for their behavior towards the match official.
While Senegal bore the brunt of CAF’s punishment, Morocco has also been slapped with several penalties.
Captain Achraf Hakimi received a two-game ban from CAF, one of which is suspended for a year, for his “unsporting behavior” during the final.
His national teammate Ismael Saibari was also banned for three official CAF matches and fined $100,000.
