BREAKING: CAF BANS SENEGAL COACH PAPE THIAW FOR 5 MATCHES AND $100K
CAF has issued a five-game ban to Senegal manager Pape Thiaw following the dramatic 17-minute walk-off in the AFCON 2025 final.
Senegal manager Pape Thiaw faces a five-game ban after chaos broke out during the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations final against Morocco.
Caf hit Thiaw with a $100,000 fine, calling out his “unsporting conduct” and saying he damaged the reputation of the game.
That final in Rabat on January 18 turned messy fast. Senegal led 1-0, but things fell apart when Morocco won a penalty in stoppage time. Thiaw, furious about an earlier foul called on Morocco’s captain Achraf Hakimi—just before Ismaila Sarr had scored—told his players to walk off.
The match stopped for 17 minutes. Eventually, Sadio Mane talked his teammates into coming back. When play resumed, Brahim Diaz tried a Panenka penalty, but Senegal’s Edouard Mendy saved it. Referee Jean-Jacques Ndala blew for full-time right after.
In extra time, Pape Gueye scored the decider, sealing Senegal’s second AFCON title in five years.
Caf didn’t stop with Thiaw. Iliman Ndiaye and Sarr got two-game bans for going after the referee, and the Senegal Football Federation took a massive $615,000 fine.
Morocco’s Ismael Saibari picked up a three-match ban and a $100,000 fine. Hakimi received a two-game ban, with one suspended for a year.
Morocco’s football federation tried to overturn the result because Senegal’s players left the field, but Caf’s disciplinary committee rejected the appeal.
All these bans only apply to CAF competitions, so they won’t affect World Cup qualifiers in the US, Canada, and Mexico.
The fines kept coming. Senegal’s federation got hit with $600,000—half for their players and staff’s behaviour, the other half for their fans. After the penalty call, some Senegal supporters clashed with security and tried to get onto the pitch.
CAF added another $15,000 fine for the five yellow cards Senegal picked up in the final.
Morocco’s federation wasn’t spared either. They got a $200,000 fine after ball boys at the stadium kept trying to swipe Mendy’s towel. Another $100,000 went on the bill because Morocco’s players and staff stormed the VAR area and disrupted the referee. Plus, there was a $15,000 fine for fans using lasers during the match.
The fallout didn’t end there. Algeria’s federation got slapped with $100,000 in fines for six Caf regulation breaches during their quarter-final loss to Nigeria. Half of that was for fans taunting officials and waving banknotes. They also paid $25,000 for their players’ and officials’ behaviour after the 2-0 defeat.
Algeria’s keeper, Luca Zidan,e got a two-game ban for misconduct, and right-back Rafik Belghali faces a four-game ban—two suspended for a year—for intimidating the referee after the final whistle.
Algeria’s fines kept stacking up: $10,000 for ignoring security, plus three separate $5,000 fines for objects thrown by fans, smoke devices in the stands, and five yellow cards in the match against Nigeria.
CRISTIANO RONALDO PROTESTS AL-HILAL'S BENZEMA DEAL BY SKIPPING AL-NASSR LEAGUE MATCH
Cristiano Ronaldo is fuming. Discover why the Al-Nassr star skipped his last match and is now threatening to leave Saudi Arabia.
Cristiano Ronaldo has been the main attraction in the Saudi Pro League ever since he landed in the Middle East three years ago. Now, for the first time, it looks like he’s actually thinking about leaving. He’s frustrated. He feels the playing field isn’t level, and it’s starting to get to him.
Here’s the deal: Four clubs in the league—Al-Ittihad, Al-Nassr, Al-Hilal, and Al-Ahli—get their backing straight from the state. But Ronaldo sat out Al-Nassr’s match against Al-Riyadh on Monday night. Why? He was protesting. He found out Al-Hilal was about to sign Karim Benzema from Al-Ittihad, and that was the last straw. From Ronaldo’s perspective, Al-Hilal keeps getting more freedom to splash cash than everyone else. They’re the current champions, and Ronaldo still hasn’t managed to win his first Saudi title.
Saudi officials tried to calm him down. According to Diario AS, they reached out and argued that most of Al-Hilal’s extra spending comes from Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal, not the Public Investment Fund (PIF). Al-Hilal just brought in Kader Meite for €30 million, Saimon Bouabre for €23 million, and now Benzema. Al-Nassr, on the other hand, only managed two free transfers this winter. Sure, they spent a lot more in the summer, but that didn’t seem to matter to Ronaldo.
Reports from Portugal, cited by AS, say Ronaldo’s not ruling anything out—not even leaving Saudi Arabia this summer. That’s despite just signing an extension with Al-Nassr until 2027.
And honestly, he has a point. Since he arrived, Al-Hilal have spent €647 million, while Al-Nassr have shelled out €410 million and Al-Ittihad €365 million. These numbers probably don’t include salaries—and let’s face it, nobody’s making more than Ronaldo. He’s supposed to return on Friday when Al-Nassr face Al-Ittihad, but right now, no one really knows if he’ll play or if he’s planning his next move.
N’GOLO KANTE SKIPS TRAINING AS AL-ITTIHAD BLOCK HIS MOVE TO FENERBAHCE OFFICIALLY
N’Golo Kante has gone on strike at Al-Ittihad after a paperwork error blocked his move to Fenerbahce. Can he still sign by Friday?
N’Golo Kanté didn’t show up for Al-Ittihad training on Tuesday, and it’s not hard to see why. He was all set to head to Fenerbahçe, but the deal fell apart at the last minute—apparently because Al-Ittihad messed up some paperwork. Kante was supposed to fly to Istanbul and sign, but thanks to this administrative slip, he’s stuck in limbo. There’s still a shot at reviving the transfer sinceKanté Turkey’s transfer window stays open until Friday, February 6.
Kante was one of the first big European names to jump to the Saudi Pro League, joining Al-Ittihad in 2023 after seven years with Chelsea. He’s been a key player in Jeddah, helping Al-Ittihad win the 2024-25 league title and the King’s Cup.
Then, in the middle of the January window, word got out that Fenerbahce wanted him. The Turkish club were eager to add a World Cup winner to their squad. The plan was to swap Kante for Youssef En-Nesyri, who’d head to Saudi Arabia. Everything seemed set until deadline day, when news broke that an error by Al-Ittihad in the Transfer Matching System stopped the transfer cold.
Fenerbahce didn’t hold back. They blamed Al-Ittihad directly, saying they’d done everything right: agreements with the players, medicals, paperwork, all wrapped up on time. But Al-Ittihad entered something wrong in the system, and that was that. Fenerbahçe even asked for an extension and reached out to FIFA, but nothing moved. In the end, the deal died, and Fenerbahçe put out a statement saying they understood the frustration and would keep working to strengthen the squad.
Meanwhile, Kante’s making his feelings clear. According to Ben Jacobs, he skipped training on Tuesday, still hoping the move to Fenerbahce can happen. Santi Aouna says talks between the clubs aren’t dead yet. L’Equipe is reporting that Kanté doesn’t want to play for Al-Ittihad while he waits for FIFA’s decision. With the Turkish window open until Friday, there’s still a glimmer of hope for Kante, though En-Nesyri’s move is off the table for now.
