Senegal Cries Foul: AFCON Final marred by alleged unfair treatment

Senegal's football federation has formally complained about the treatment of its national team in Morocco before the Africa Cup of Nations final. The federation cited significant security lapses upon the team's arrival in Rabat, difficulties securing adequate accommodation, and issues with training facilities. Concerns were also raised about the limited number of tickets allocated to Senegalese supporters for the crucial match.

The federation stated that the lack of security at the train station exposed players to risks incompatible with a continental final. They also had to file a formal complaint to secure proper hotel accommodation after initial issues. Furthermore, Senegal expressed its "categorical refusal" to train at the same complex used by the Moroccan team, raising questions about sporting fairness.
