Africa-Press – Mozambique. Eighteen supporters of the Lions of Teranga, detained since the AFCON 2025 final between Senegal and Morocco, now face the possibility of heavy prison sentences. On Thursday, the Moroccan public prosecutor requested up to two years in jail for the fans involved in the violence that erupted during the final.
Addressing the Rabat Court of First Instance, the prosecutor stated that the accused deliberately sought to disrupt the smooth running of the match. He also pointed to acts of violence that were broadcast live on television, underlining the seriousness of the charges brought against the Senegalese supporters.
This new judicial step further fuels tensions surrounding a final that remains highly controversial weeks after Senegal’s victory. As the case unfolds, it continues to provoke strong reactions across Africa, both within the football community and among supporters.
