FIFA President Gianni Infantino strongly condemned the events that accompanied the Africa Cup of Nations final between Morocco and Senegal, affirming that what happened on the pitch and in the stands constitutes unacceptable behavior that contradicts the values of football.

Infantino emphasized his total rejection of the actions of the Senegal national team players and technical staff members, explaining that leaving the field in such a manner cannot be justified under any circumstances, considering that violence has no place in football or any other sport.

He added that such behavior harms the game and contradicts the principles that FIFA seeks to establish.

Infantino pointed out that the scenes described as "ugly" must be clearly condemned, stressing the necessity of preventing their recurrence in the future to preserve the image of the game and respect for sporting competition.

In conclusion, Infantino confirmed that he informed the relevant disciplinary bodies within the Confederation of African Football (CAF) of the need to take action, expecting appropriate measures to be taken according to the applicable regulations to ensure accountability and prevent such incidents from happening again.
