The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has fined the Senegalese Football Federation a total of $615,000 following misconduct during the AFCON 2025 final against host nation Morocco.

The sanctions stem from incidents at the Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium, where Senegal players walked off the pitch for about 17 minutes in protest after a penalty was awarded to Morocco. Following intervention from captain Sadio Mané, the team returned to the field and eventually won the title after extra time, with Pape Gueye scoring the winning goal after Brahim Díaz missed the controversial penalty.

After reviewing match officials’ reports, CAF issued several fines. Senegal FA was fined $300,000 for improper conduct by supporters, another $300,000 for unsporting behaviour by players and technical staff, and $15,000 related to disciplinary issues after five Senegal players received yellow cards during the match.

CAF stated that the incidents brought the game into disrepute and breached principles of fair play, loyalty, and integrity under its Disciplinary Code. The Senegal FA is expected to review the decision and could lodge an appeal.
