CAF Suspends Senegal Coach Pape Thiaw Over AFCON 2025 Final Conduct
The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has suspended Senegal's head coach, Pape Thiaw, for breaching competition regulations during the AFCON 2025 final against Morocco. Thiaw was found guilty of allowing players to walk off the pitch in protest of a controversial referee decision.
Despite Senegal eventually winning the match, CAF described the coach's actions as unacceptable and damaging to African football's image. Thiaw will serve a suspension and face further sanctions, including fines and a ban.
CAF emphasized its commitment to upholding discipline and respect for match officials. The incident has sparked debates on officiating standards and disciplinary conduct in major African tournaments.
