CAF have suspended Senegal coach Pape Thiaw for five games and fined him $100,000 for “unsporting conduct”, after he told his players to leave the pitch during the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) final against Morocco. CAF also fined Senegal’s federation $615,000 due to the team’s conduct and the behaviour of their fans, while players Iliman Ndiaye and Ismaila Sarr were suspended for two CAF games for unsporting behaviour towards the referee. However, Morocco’s bid to have the result of the match overturned after Senegal players left the pitch leading to a 14-minute delay in the game, was dismissed by CAF’s Disciplinary Committee. Morocco captain Achraf Hakimi (two CAF matches, one suspended for a year) and Ismael Saibari (three CAF matches) were suspended for unsporting conduct as they tried to remove the pitch-side towel of Senegal goalkeeper Edouard Mendy. The chaotic scenes at the final were an end to what was otherwise a successful Africa Cup of Nations that produced record revenues for CAF.
