Senegalese players could face sanctions from CAF

They are alleged to have behaved provocatively during the U17 Africa Cup of Nations semi-final against Morocco.

The match between Senegal and Morocco on Thursday 28 May was reportedly marred by controversy. Whilst the Senegalese Lion Cubs beat the young Atlas Lions to reach the final, incidents were noted during this semi-final.

Senegalese players and some members of the coaching staff are alleged to have made provocative gestures towards the Moroccan crowd. This could prove costly for them. They could face sanctions from the Confederation of African Football in accordance with the regulations.
