Overview
- Senegal’s federation issued an overnight communiqué on Jan. 16–17 detailing grievances ahead of the Rabat final against Morocco and calling for urgent intervention by CAF.
- The FSF cites an inadequate security presence during the team’s arrival at Rabat’s railway station, saying players and staff were exposed to unnecessary risk as images circulated on social media.
- Following a formal lodging protest, Senegal’s squad was reassigned to a five‑star hotel to meet recovery standards.
- The federation has formally refused to train at the Complexe Mohammed VI, arguing it is Morocco’s base and raises fairness concerns, and said an alternative site had not been confirmed at the time of its statement.
- Ticket access remains constrained, with only two VVIP seats allotted and CAF purchase caps of 300 (Category 1), 850 (Category 2) and 1,700 (Category 3), which the FSF says are insufficient for supporter demand.
