CAF Sanctions Mohamed Salah and Egypt Squad for Media Breach at AFCON 2025

The Confederation of African Football (CAF) imposed sanctions on Mohamed Salah and the Egypt squad following their AFCON 2025 match against Zimbabwe. Egypt was fined $5,000 for Salah's failure to grant interviews to journalists after the game, violating tournament rules.

CAF warned Egypt of further punishment if such actions were repeated in their upcoming match against South Africa. The incident sparked reactions from football fans, with some criticizing CAF for not sanctioning the host country, Morocco.

Meanwhile, South Africa remains unbeaten in their last six encounters with Egypt. Football legend presence at Algeria's match against Sudan also drew attention.
