Pape Matar Sarr is calling for the release of 18 Senegalese fans who have been detained in Morocco since the events of the Africa Cup of Nations final, which Senegal won (1-0). Today, February 17, marks a full month since these supporters of the "Lions of Teranga" were imprisoned. Frustrated by the ongoing situation, Sarr expressed his solidarity on social media and called for the release of his fellow citizens."Thirty days in detention for fans whose only crime was passionately supporting their team. We strongly condemn this injustice and demand their release. All our support to our compatriots." This is what he posted on X (formerly Twitter).

30 jours de détention pour des supporters dont le seul tort a été de soutenir leur équipe avec passion. Nous dénonçons fermement cette injustice et demandons leur libération. Soutien total à nos compatriotes. ✊🏾🇸🇳

These statements come just two days before the 18 fans are set to appear in court again on February 19, in what could be a decisive moment for their fate.
