The Confederation of African Football said it is reviewing incidents of misconduct involving players and officials during the Africa Cup of Nations final between Morocco and Senegal in Rabat.

In a statement issued after the match, CAF condemned what it described as “unacceptable behaviour” and said it would not tolerate inappropriate conduct during matches, particularly actions directed at referees or match organisers.

The governing body said it is examining all available video footage from the final and will refer the matter to the competent disciplinary bodies.

CAF added that appropriate action would be taken against any individuals found to have breached regulations.

The incidents occurred during the Africa Cup of Nations 2025 Final, played in Rabat, which concluded the continental tournament hosted by Morocco.
