Jailed Senegalese fans deny wrongdoing in AFCON final chaos

Eighteen Senegalese football supporters were sentenced to prison terms ranging from three to 12 months for pitch invasion during the Africa Cup of Nations final in Rabat in January. They denied wrongdoing, claiming they were forced onto the pitch to avoid a surging crowd and projectiles. The Confederation of African Football reversed Senegal's win, awarding the title to Morocco, prompting the Senegalese Football Federation to appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
