Senegal considers withdrawing from future Africa Cup of Nations tournaments

The highest football authority in Africa, CAF, decided to revoke Senegal’s championship title from the last Africa Cup of Nations, and the Senegalese are preparing their response.

Details: According to The Touchline, Senegalese representatives believe the decision is political rather than sporting. They are outraged by the ruling and are considering the option of no longer participating in future Africa Cup of Nations tournaments.

Reminder: The reason for such a severe verdict was Senegal’s violation of Articles 82 and 84 of the tournament regulations.

The committee ruled that the Senegalese players’ decision to leave the field in protest against a late penalty awarded in regulation time constituted a refusal to continue the match.
