Africa-Press – Seychelles. <\/strong><\/span>The Senegalese national team has been sanctioned by Fifa for incidents that occurred during the second leg of the World Cup 2022 qualifying play-off between Senegal and Egypt (1-0, 3-1 on penalties) in Dakar on 29 March.<\/b><\/p>\n

The sanction comes with a fine of 175,000 Swiss francs (170,866 euros), FIFA said in a statement on Monday, May 2.<\/p>\n

In addition to a general breach of “security rules” and the maintenance of order in the Abdoulaye-Wade stadium in Diamniadio, near Dakar, football’s supreme body noted the throwing of objects, the use of lasers and smoke bombs in the stands, and an “offensive” banner.<\/p>\n

Egypt was sanctioned over “team misconduct (6 individual sanctions)”. The north African nation will have to pay a 6,000 Swiss francs (5,835 euros) fine.<\/p>\n

Nigeria was handed a 150,000 Swiss francs (146, 038 euros) fine and one-game stadium closure. Fans invaded the pitch in Abuja among other incidents which occured after Nigeria was eliminated at home by Ghana in their playoff.<\/p>\n

The Algerian Federation will also have to pay a fine of 3,000 Swiss francs (2,929 euros) for lighting smoke and throwing objects during the Algeria-Cameroon play-off (1-2 a.p.) on 29 March in Blida.<\/p>\n

The sanctions do not prejudge a possible sporting decision, however, after Algeria appealed to Fifa to have the match replayed because of the “scandalous refereeing”, according to the Algerian Federation, of Gambian Bakary Gassama.<\/p>\n

It was the first time that a goal in the last second of extra time by Karl-Toko Ekambi (120th+4th) had put the Fennecs out of the running for a place at the World Cup in Qatar, after they had thought they had secured their ticket to the tournament with a 118th-minute goal.<\/p>\n
