They shouldn't have included Senegal in their sanction. The daylight robbery was obvious enough by the Moroccans...

Hehn. so Dem enter VAR review room.

Kaa4:
If Nigeria had protested, Morocco would have been sanctioned, as well as the Ghanaian referee who travelled home immediately to a hero's welcome.

Nigeria lost that match due to improper refereeing

Was it the referee that made you to carelessly lose your penalties?

No penalty for the shitty officials that officiated the Nigeria Vs Morocco match?

Well, no amount of sanctions will deny Senegal of being 2025 AFCON champions. 🏆

But even with availability of VAR, the officiating was terrible, especially that Senegal's goal that was cancelled.
Very valid goal & yet not even a VAR review.

That Referee should also be sanctioned.
After disallowing that goal, he should have equally not given the penalty, &let the match be decided in extra time.

That goal was not valid knowing fully well the referee had blown his whistle before the Senegalese put it inside the net.


Also there was a foul committed by the Senegalese player on the Moroccan defender leading to the goal.

Don’t let be emotional here

They should give the second place to Nigeria…thank God I’m not a northerner,you see North America,north Korea,North Africa,northern Nigeria…run o

The reality is every one is relatively North , South, East or West of somewhere or something.

Caf created a climate of mistrust and bias that shrouded the whole competition right from its onset when it always offered favourable calls to Morocco. Who would blame the senegalese team when they witnessed the obvious bias for Morocco against both Cameroun and Nigeria, and if they hadn't revolted by walking off the pitch after the penalty call, Morocco would have won that tournament. Caf has to learn fairness and equity. This was the same bias system Nigeria suffered for a long time under Hayatou when he sustained his support for Cameroun and cheated Nigeria of the opportunity to clinch the afcon trophy several times.

I told mohims there will be heavy fines coming

No emotions here Bro.
I've watched & analysed the replay several times.
Hakimi made to attempt to go for the ball, instead he raised his hands to impede Seck from reaching the ball, &lost his balance under contact.

The referee should rightly not have blown his whistle immediately, to allow a VAR review.
&VAR would rightly have allowed the goal to stand.

Nigeria was no match for the Moroccan.

We were lucky to make it to the penalty.

Was it the referee that made the Moroccans outplayed us? Check the statistics.

Then stop clawing at the straw. What had Ghanaians celebrating their own got to do with our loss in Morocco?

Nothing heavy in the sanction

helinues:
The poor officiating was actually general in that tournament but how some Ghanaians have been praising their referee for the poor officiating is something I can't understand

You still don't know, the number one rival of Ghanaians if not enemy is Nigeria? They always want our downfall even in international political gatherings.

Anyway I don't blame them but Nigeria leaders who refused to put Nigeria in her rightful place.

If Elephant refuses to proof his strength, Antelope will come out with him, in superiority context.

Nice one

CAF even for sanctions una still dey do magomago!

$815,000 for Senegal and $615,000 for Morocco...as how nah?

What about North America? or you forgot to add it, because the pattern is north, north,.....while exclude the other one, perhaps their own is being codedly done to look beautiful.lol

Modified
My bad! sorry bro...I thought you ommited north America before....

@CAF, in these sanctions, what disciplinary measures was meted on the useless Referees utilized throughout the tournament?
I expected that CAF would also, in all fairness, discipline the imbecilic officiating by these bunch of senseless individuals. It's a shame to CAF. 👎

The only reason Nigeria is supporting senegalnis only because Morocco knack them comot ...they started complaining about ref... but when Nigeria defeated Algeria and the Algerians complained about the officiating...Nigerians called them sore loosers .... very foolish country with even more foolish supporters

aworatak:
This is a fair decision.
I think Morocco deserves higher and stiffer penalties.
CAF was too lenient on the Moroccan team.

I agree with your last Statement.
The Only Justice remains:
AWARD THE GOLD MEDAL 🥇 TO THE SUPER EAGLE 🦅,THAT WILL PUT ENDS TO THIS NONSENSE.
North Africa Football Are Too Terrible 😔 and Are Bad Losers,as their Conducts Are An Eyes Sore!
It has been like that,not only in cheating on the Fields but in Characters!

very good for them, at least they will all learn in the hardest way now.

Super eagles? They award gold to losers in your country? Oh sorry I remember a guy who came 4th was declared winner of an election

because they are the host right? Many of us always use emotional to judge things. Does what Senegal did good to football at all? We all supported them, yet, let condemn what is bad.

Morocco are a useless nation they hister w tournament and by their hands they destroy the beauty of the tournament just cos of their desperation to win which they never did at the end....

They suppose ban them for 2 AFCON, sore losers they and Algeria and even their journalists

Typical.. everyone will get sanctioned but the not the refree that cause the whole scene and Drama..
C..oorrr... upttt.... people

OlujobaSamuel:
Make Senegal appeal to CAS
Almost $1m to their team just, kuku tell them to return the prize money, and 5matches for the coach is too much also.
Morocco player got 2match then 1 of it is probation, but you gave Senegal player 3matches, no probation

The punishment was far too lenient on both teams but more especially Senegal. I thought CAF would ban Senegal from the next AFCON and ban their coach for at least 10 years. Some analysts had even predicted that they would forfeit the trophy. I think Senegal would be relieved with the sanctions. Definitely, I am.

and is it not a shame we don't have a single official in the tournament?

It's the var you will blame for not calling him back to review his decision

Permanent ban from any tournament in the world

Yes you did. Thumbs up 👍

Lukuluku69:
Fair Sanctions if you ask me.

What of the Referees?

caf cant sanction their referees, they see their refs as part and parcel of caf mode of operations

LibertyRep:
Senegal keeps the trophy.

CAF for set the continent on fire.

Nigeria should let Congo be too.

Why should DR CONGO be let off, after violation of FIFA rules? This is why Africa has refused to grow.
