Senegal’s football federation has urged an inquiry following the Confederation of African Football (CAF)‘s decision to remove its Africa Cup of Nations championship.
CAF justified the revocation by stating that the Lions of Teranga infringed Article 82 of its regulations through the conduct of its team.
The exact nature of the infringement remains under scrutiny, prompting Senegal to seek a formal review of the process.
This development adds tension ahead of future AFCON tournaments.
