Ahead of the AFCON final against Morocco, the Senegalese Football Federation has filed a complaint with CAF over security arrangements and training facilities, citing concerns about equal treatment and competitive fairness.
Senegal reportedly objected to elements of logistics upon arrival and raised concerns about training-site parity, arguing that the current setup may advantage the host nation.
Echotitbits take: Pre-final friction is common, but security and facility-equity claims can damage tournament integrity if not addressed transparently. CAF’s response and documentation will shape post-match legitimacy.
