CAF's decision to overturn Senegal's 1-0 victory in the Cup of Nations final has led to significant backlash, with the Senegalese Football Federation appealing to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
We will contact our lawyers and file an appeal. We will stop at nothing. The law is on our side. This decision is a disgrace for Africa. The timing is really bad. CAF should have taken a decision earlier, quicker. The situation has only rotted more and more.
Fifa fined the NFF 1,000 Swiss francs ($1,270; 950) after determining that the federation had failed to ensure proper "order and security", particularly following the "throwing of objects" by spectators during the game. The incident was deemed a violation under Article 17.2.b and Article 17 of the Fifa disciplinary code.
