BREAKING: CONFEDERATION OF AFRICAN FOOTBALL (CAF) SUSPENDS SENEGAL COACH PAPE THIAW

Confederation of African Football (CAF) has opened disciplinary proceedings against Senegal’s coach Pape Thiaw for ordering his team off the pitch during the recent AFCON 2025 final against Morocco, potentially leading to a lengthy suspension that could impact his participation in the 2026 World Cup, following a contentious late penalty call that sparked protests.

Thiaw apologized for his actions, but CAF deemed the incident unacceptable and launched a serious investigation, with a decision pending.
