Senegal Files Formal Complaint Over AFCON Final Logistics in Morocco

The federation is pressing for immediate remedies before kickoff.

Overview

  • Senegal’s football federation lodged an official complaint to CAF and the local organising committee ahead of Sunday’s final in Rabat.
  • Officials say the team faced a dangerous situation at Rabat train station due to inadequate security on arrival.
  • The federation calls the originally assigned lodging unacceptable and says the team was moved to a five-star hotel only after a protest.
  • Senegal objects to being assigned the Mohammed VI training complex, arguing it is Morocco’s regular base and compromises sporting fairness.
  • The federation says it received only about 3,000 tickets for the 69,500-seat stadium, while Moroccan organisers insist arrangements are sufficient and ask fans to arrive early.
