US EditionSenegal Criticizes Lack of ‘Fair Play’ Before Facing Host Nation Morocco in the Africa Cup Final
Senegalese Football Federation cited security flaws, accommodation issues, and only 2,850 supporter tickets allocated for the Africa Cup of Nations final, urging fair play enforcement.
- Jan 16, 2026, the FSF publicly complained about the treatment of the Senegal national team in Rabat, calling on CAF and the local organising committee to take corrective measures.
- Senegal's players traveled by train from Tangier to Rabat on Friday, and the federation said a clear lack of security exposed players and staff to overcrowding and risks.
- The federation filed a formal written complaint to secure adequate hotel accommodation after arriving in Rabat, Morocco, but did not describe the initial offer, the Senegalese Football Federation said.
- Only 2,850 tickets were available to Senegal supporters under CAF limits, and the FSF called the allocation insufficient against the Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium's 69,500 capacity.
- The FSF notified CAF of a `categorical refusal` to train at the Mohammed VI Complex, saying it `raises a question of sporting fairness` as Senegal lacks a confirmed training site while Morocco trains there Saturday.
