Mané questions CAF and talks of “corruption” after Africa Cup decision | OneFootball

Sadio Mané criticized the Confederation of African Football (CAF) after the decision to strip Senegal of the title and declare Morocco the champion. "What happened has gone too far. This is not the football we fight for, this is not the Africa we believe in. There is too much corruption in our sport, and it is killing the passion of millions," the Senegalese questioned.

Mané's Statement on Instagram

"What happened has gone too far. This is not the football we fight for, this is not the Africa we believe in.

There is too much corruption in our sport, and it is killing the passion of millions of fans across the continent.

The players give their all on the field, but the decisions off it are what decide matches and trophies. I am deeply disappointed not only for Senegal but for African football in general.

We deserve something better. The fans deserve justice, transparency, and respect."

Statements made amid the controversy over the CAF's resolution, which sanctioned Senegal for temporarily leaving the field and awarded the match as lost, two months after the final was played. A decision that has sparked criticism in various sectors of African football.
