Senegal have claimed a lack of fair play and alleged mistreatment by hosts Morocco ahead of Sunday’s 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) final.
The Senegal Football Association (FSF) issued a statement on Saturday accusing the hosts of inadequate security arrangements upon the team’s arrival in Rabat, problems with the team’s accommodation, and issues relating to training facilities.
The FSF also expressed dissatisfaction with arrangements for supporters attending the final, claiming Senegal’s ticket allocation has been restricted to fewer than 3,000 seats despite the Rabat stadium having a capacity of 69,500.
In their statement, the association called on CAF and the Local Organising Committee (LOC) in charge of the final to “respect the principles of fair play, equality and security for the success of African football.”
This is not the first time during the tournament that the hosts have faced criticism over issues relating to fair play.
Ahead of their Round of 16 match against Cameroon, South Africa head coach Hugo Broos raised concerns about sharing a training facility with Morocco, who would have been Bafana Bafana’s quarter-final opponents had they progressed.
Broos also complained that his team’s hotel in Rabat was too far from the training ground, a situation he said disrupted their preparations.
