The President of the Senegalese Football Federation Abdoulaye Fall reacted sharply to the decision of the African Football Confederation to cancel the team's victory in the final of the African Cup of Nations and award a technical penalty.

According to the functionary, the organization does not intend to put up with such a verdict and intends to actively fight on the legal level. " We will wage a moral and legal crusade,"

The legal position of the Senegalese is supported by lawyer Juan de Dios Crespo, who calls the CAF decision unpleasant: “This decision cannot be respected with the proper praise of sports justice - it’s so rude, so absurd, so much. Vono is clearly breaking the rules of the game."

He also spoke about the unsafe precedent: “The Court of Arbitration for Sport praised the decision not for the benefit of Senegal, the success of the upcoming world championship is significant in legal firms, and not on the football field.”.

On the right has already been transferred to CAS. The parties draw up designated lines to present arguments, and the process itself can be continued until the end, if the Senegalese side is willing to get a closer look.

The reason for the sanction was that the players of Senegal deprived the field of play at the end of the final, protesting against the refereeing, which was interpreted as Vidmova continuing the match. At the same time, in the country they will continue to respect themselves as the dignified champions of Africa.
