The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has strongly condemned the misconduct that occurred during the Morocco vs Senegal AFCON 2025 Final, describing the scenes as unacceptable and contrary to the values of African football. In a statement released after the match, CAF stressed that acts of indiscipline, protests against match officials, and any form of disorder have no place in the game, especially at such a prestigious stage.
CAF confirmed that it has opened a full disciplinary investigation into the incident and is currently reviewing match reports, video footage, and submissions from the teams involved. The football governing body stated that all individuals found culpable—whether players, officials, or team staff—will face appropriate sanctions in line with CAF’s disciplinary code.
The incident, which followed a controversial late decision during the final, sparked protests and temporary disruption on the pitch. While the match was eventually concluded, CAF emphasized that the integrity of the competition must be protected and warned that future misconduct of this nature will attract severe consequences. Further decisions and sanctions are expected to be announced after the disciplinary process is concluded.
