Pape Matar Sarr has spoken out in support of Senegalese fans who have reportedly remained detained in Morocco following the Africa Cup of Nations final.

The Senegal midfielder voiced his frustration on social media, calling for the immediate release of the supporters.

According to Sarr, the fans had traveled simply to back their national team and should not still be in custody weeks after the tournament’s conclusion.

The detentions reportedly date back to January 18, 2026—the day Senegal defeated the host nation to lift the AFCON trophy. Sarr described the situation as excessive and unjust, urging the relevant authorities to intervene swiftly.

His statement has amplified growing concern within the football community, as calls intensify for a resolution to the matter. The issue continues to generate debate among supporters and observers across the continent.
