The Confederation of African Football disciplinary committee is preparing to suspend Senegal head coach Pape Thiaw following incidents during the Africa Cup of Nations final against Morocco, according to journalist Romain Molina.
In a post on X, Molina said the suspension decision had been taken in principle, with the number of matches to be determined. He added that sanctions were also expected against several Senegal players and could be severe.
The reported disciplinary action follows incidents during the AFCON final in Rabat, which included confrontations involving Senegal team members and pitch invasions by some supporters. The match was attended by Gianni Infantino and Patrice Motsepe.
CAF has confirmed it is reviewing video footage from the final and has referred the incidents to its disciplinary bodies. No official sanctions have yet been announced by the governing body.
Molina also reported that internal consequences within CAF could follow, including possible changes involving a senior official, though no names or decisions have been confirmed.
CAF is expected to communicate disciplinary outcomes once the review process is completed.
