U17 AFCON: Morocco Files Another Complaint Against Senegal

Sampson Adedeji

Morocco has lodged another complaint with the Confederation of African Football (CAF) over incidents that allegedly occurred during the U-17 Africa Cup of Nations semi-final clash against Senegal, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

The complaint relates to the semi-final encounter between Morocco and Senegal, which was played on May 28. 

Following their defeat to the Senegalese side, Moroccan officials accused their opponents of engaging in provocative behaviour during and after the match.

As a result of the allegations, Morocco submitted an official complaint to CAF, prompting the continental football governing body to take further action on the matter.

CAF has since summoned Senegalese officials Yaya Baldé and Abdoulaye Sow to appear before its Disciplinary Committee as part of the investigation process.

The African football body has also opened an investigation into the incidents reported by the Moroccan Football Federation, with further decisions expected after the disciplinary proceedings are concluded.
