Gabon Government Suspends National Team After AFCON Exit

The Gabonese government has suspended the national football team following their disappointing exit from the AFCON tournament. The decision came after a series of poor performances, leading to the banning of senior players, dismissal of the coach and crew, and the suspension of the entire squad.

The team's struggles have prompted efforts to restore discipline and ambition in sports governance. Star player Aubameyang was subsequently banned from playing due to injury.

The government's intervention may face sanctions from FIFA for interfering in football management.
