Football fever turned 🔥 during the recent AFCON final in Rabat, as Morocco and Senegal went head-to-head in a match that ended in chaos. The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has now stepped in to investigate what went down deep into stoppage time.
CAF confirmed it's reviewing all available footage and will hand over its findings to the relevant disciplinary bodies for anyone found in the wrong. In their official statement, CAF said it strongly condemns any inappropriate behaviour during matches—especially when it targets refs or organizers.
The drama kicked off late in the game when Senegal thought they'd scored a late equalizer, only for the referee to chalk it off for a foul on Morocco's captain, Achraf Hakimi. That decision sent the Senegal bench into a frenzy, with protests and heated exchanges lighting up the pitch.
Whether you're cheering from Kochi, Jakarta or Kuala Lumpur, this is a reminder that football is more than a game—it's a rollercoaster of emotions. We'll keep you posted as CAF's probe unfolds and reveal what sanctions might be on the cards. Stay tuned! ⚽👀
