Senegalese attack Morocco over dysfunctional AFCON conditions
The Lions of Teranga have claimed that the AFCON host nation, Morocco, their opponent in Sunday's final, is tampering with their preparations in various ways.
www.flashscore.comHere’s the latest on the Senegalese Football Federation (FSF) based on recent reporting:
- The FSF participated in CAF disciplinary proceedings related to the AFCON 2025 final, with broadcasts noting that the hearing occurred and a ruling would follow within 48 hours on that occasion. The federation also defended its position and indicated it would respect due process [sources referencing CAF disciplinary hearing details and timing].
- In March 2026, FSF president Abdoulaye Fall said the federation would mount a “moral and legal crusade” against a CAF Appeals Board decision to strip Senegal of the AFCON title, signaling ongoing legal action and appeals to higher bodies such as CAS. This reflects the FSF’s long-running challenge to the AFCNA title decision [Reuters/Flashscore coverage].
- The FSF has publicly criticized perceived unfair play and conditions surrounding AFCON 2025, including issues at reception in Rabat and concerns about accommodations and training facilities, with multiple outlets echoing the federation’s complaints ahead of the final against Morocco [Al Jazeera, FRANCE 24, and related reports].
- There have been disciplinary and administrative actions tied to the AFCON final, including CAF suspensions and fines involving Senegal’s coach and the national federation’s federation affairs, with the disciplinary outcomes reported in late January 2026 and subsequent weeks [BBC Pidgin summary; Flashscore recaps].
