Morocco: Prison sentences of 18 Senegalese supporters confirmed on appeal

Moroccan justice confirmed prison sentences ranging from three to twelve months for 18 Senegalese supporters found guilty of participating in incidents during the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations final on January 18. The court did not follow the prosecution's request for harsher penalties. This verdict comes amid tensions between Morocco and Senegal, following the African Football Confederation's decision to declare Morocco the winner of the 2025 AFCON on forfeit.
