IN a three sentence statement, the African football governing body CAF issued a statement to condemn the act of Senegal during the TotalEnergies African Cup of Nations final against Morocco.

“The Confédération Africaine de Football (“CAF”) condemns the unacceptable behaviour of some players and officials during the TotalEnergies CAF Africa Cup of Nations Morocco 2025 Final between Morocco and Senegal in Rabat last night.

CAF strongly condemns any inappropriate behaviour which occurs during matches, especially those targeting the refereeing team or match organisers. 

CAF is reviewing all footage and will refer the matter to competent bodies for appropriate action to be taken against those found guilty.”

Many have since called the leadership of CAF to be bias and as their release looks to be mentioning just officiating body and organising team (Morocco) and not a general address.
