Senegal has been left worried about possible sanctions from the Confederation of African Football (CAF) following the controversy that surrounded the Africa Cup of Nations final.
The incident has raised fresh concerns inside Senegalese football about the scale of any disciplinary measures that could be handed down, with fears that the fallout might not stop at fines or suspensions and could even reach future international competitions.
CAF is expected to continue its review of what happened during the final, after serious criticism and widespread debate over the events that unfolded on the night.
In Senegal, the main concern is that punishments could affect the national team’s path going forward, especially with the 2026 World Cup qualifiers on the horizon.
The scandal has kept the AFCON final in the spotlight, and Senegal is now waiting for CAF’s decision, hoping the consequences will not be severe.
