On January 18, during the African Cup of Nations (AFCON) final in Rabat, Senegal’s coach, Aliou Cissé, was suspended for five matches by the African Football Confederation (CAF) due to incidents that occurred during the game. Senegal claimed victory against Morocco, winning 1-0 and securing the title for the second time. However, disciplinary issues during the match prompted CAF to take strict action. Cissé’s main offense was instructing his players to leave the field in protest over the disallowance of a goal and a penalty awarded to Morocco.
