The Senegalese Football Federation (FSF) has formally accepted the disciplinary sanctions issued by the Confederation of African Football (CAF) following the turbulent 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) final against Morocco.

In an official statement, the FSF confirmed it would not appeal the ruling, which included suspensions for coach Pape Bouna Thiaw and players Iliman Ndiaye and Ismaïla Sarr, alongside significant financial penalties. The federation has committed to paying the full $615,000 in fines, covering $300,000 for supporter misconduct, $300,000 for unsporting behavior by players and technical staff, and $15,000 for team infractions during the match.

By accepting the ruling without contest, the FSF is demonstrating its respect for CAF regulations and signaling a forward-looking approach as it prepares for upcoming competitions, including the 2026 World Cup qualifiers and the next AFCON cycle. The decision also confirms Senegal’s retention of the 2025 AFCON title, as CAF rejected Morocco’s request to overturn the final result following the on-field walk-off incident.
