The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has announced it will investigate what happened during the AFCON 2025 final between Morocco and Senegal.
The match, played in Rabat, turned chaotic near the end after two referee decisions upset the Senegal team. A goal scored by Ismaila Sarr was cancelled, and shortly after, Morocco were given a penalty. However, Brahim Diaz missed the spot kick.
The decisions caused anger among Senegal fans in the stands, while players and officials from both teams became involved in the tension. Senegal coach Pape Thiaw even asked his players to leave the pitch, before team captain Sadio Mané convinced them to return.
In a statement, CAF strongly criticised the behaviour of some players and officials. The football body said it does not accept actions that target referees or match officials.
CAF confirmed it is reviewing all videos from the match and will take action against anyone found guilty.
