CAF DC meet to decide over AFCON 2025 final drama between Morocco and Senegal

The final was marred by various clashes between players and officials which was strongly condemned by CAF in a statement shortly after the fixture warning that appropriate action will be taken against those found guilty.

Senegal players had to come back from the tunnel to finish the match after staging a walkout in protest of refereeing decisions whilst Moroccan players and ball boys removed goalkeeper Edouard Mendy's towel on multiple occasions. 

According to reports the president of CAF Patrick Motsepe has temporarily relieved Senegalese national Ousmane Kane as chairman of the CAF DC committee for conflict of Interest.

The case has been taken over by Kenyan deputy Jane Njeri Onyango alongside South African Norman Arendse and Mohamed Mostafa Al Mashta from Egypt.

Both of the nations involved will have a right to have right to appeal if they are dissatisfied with the outcome of the decision of the commission.
