CAF Sets Hearing Date for AFCON 2025 Final Controversies
The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has set a hearing date for January 27, 2026, to address the controversies arising from the AFCON 2025 final between Morocco and Senegal. The final, which saw Senegal defeat Morocco 1-0 thanks to Pape Gueye's goal, was marred by multiple disciplinary incidents, including a penalty awarded to Morocco and a disallowed goal for Senegal.
CAF condemned the disruptions and announced legal action against Senegal. Ousmane Kane, the head of CAF's disciplinary committee, has temporarily stepped down to ensure a fair hearing.
Senegal's player, Walid Regragui, left the pitch during the match, prompting attempts at reconciliation by the Moroccan head coach. The hearing aims to address the controversies and make a decisive ruling on the incidents that tainted the AFCON final.
