CAN 2025 final: Pape Thiaw responds after sanctions and issues a call

Senegal head coach Pape Thiaw has just responded to the CAF sanction imposed on him following the events during the CAN 2025.

Pape Thiaw, the Senegal national team coach, has broken his silence just hours after CAF's disciplinary decision was announced. While he enjoys widespread public support, including the launch of an online fundraising campaign, the tactician has made an appeal through a message posted on his Instagram account.

"People of Senegal, my family. Your solidarity since the announcement of the sanctions has truly touched me. Thank you for all the love you show me every day. However, I humbly ask you not to organize any fundraising campaigns in my name. While I understand and appreciate this gesture of generosity, I urge you to redirect these funds toward more urgent causes, to benefit those who are truly in need. Pape Bouna Thiaw." he wrote.
