AFCON Final: Senegal Raise Concerns Over Security, Ticketing, Others

The country’s team will take to the pitch in the AFCON 2025 final following a victory recorded against Egypt in the semi-final on Wednesday.

A statement released on Saturday by the Secretariat of the Teranga Lions of Senegal to the Confederation of African Football and the public, noted that it was compelled to speak out “for the sake of transparency and defence of the interests of the Senegal national team,” following what it described as several malfunctions observed during preparations for the final.

It drew attention to lapses in security during the team’s arrival in Morocco.

“The FSF deplores the clear absence of adequate safety device when the Senegalese delegation arrived at the Rabat railway station,” the communiqué read, warning that the situation exposed players and officials “to a promiscuity and risks incompatible with the standards of a competition of this magnitude and the standing of a continental final.”
