The Confederation of African Football (CAF) Executive and Disciplinary Committees will meet on Tuesday to deliberate on the incidents that marred the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations final between Morocco and Senegal, according to reports gathered by Nigeriasoccernet.com.
The disciplinary hearing was initially scheduled for Sunday but was postponed after the Senegalese Football Federation (FSF) formally requested more time to prepare its defence. CAF approved the request, stressing the importance of due process and fairness for all parties involved.
In a key procedural decision aimed at protecting the integrity of the process, Ousmane Kane, a Senegalese and president of the CAF Disciplinary Committee, has been officially removed from handling the case. CAF explained that the move was necessary to avoid any potential conflict of interest and to reinforce neutrality and credibility in the proceedings.
The meeting takes place against a tense backdrop, following a series of public accusations made by the FSF president against both Morocco and CAF after the final. Those comments have further intensified scrutiny and anticipation around the outcome of the case.
CAF is expected to carefully examine match officials’ reports, video footage, and written submissions from both federations before reaching a final decision.
