Morocco's Coach Walid Regragui's Suspension Lifted by CAF

Regragui cleared to return for Africa Cup of Nations game against South Africa following successful appeal.

Walid Regragui, the head coach of Morocco's football team, has had his suspension lifted and is cleared to return for the team's Africa Cup of Nations last 16 game against South Africa.
The Confederation of African Football (CAF) partially upheld the appeal filed by the Moroccan federation against Regragui's four-game ban, with two suspended, for his part in the heated scenes at the end of the team's match against Congo.
CAF's appeal board set aside the suspension and a fine of $5,000 imposed on Regragui, but confirmed the fines of $20,000 each on the soccer federations of Morocco and Congo, plus a $10,000 fine on the Moroccan federation for the use of smoke bombs by its supporters during the match.
Regragui and Congo captain Chancel Mbemba had a heated exchange after their teams' match ended 1-1 in San Pedro on Jan. 21, leading to a melee between players and officials from both teams.
Regragui denied making any racist comments after Mbemba implied to journalists that the Morocco coach insulted him.
