The Confederation of African Football (CAF) levied hefty fines against Senegal and Morocco following the tumultuous AFCON final. Senegal's coach, Pape Thiaw, received a five-game suspension and a $100,000 fine for instructing his players to leave the pitch. The Senegalese federation was also penalized $615,000 for team and fan conduct.

Morocco faces sanctions totaling $315,000 for the behavior of ball boys, players, and staff, along with fan use of lasers. Achraf Hakimi and Ismael Saibari were suspended for unsporting conduct. The disciplinary committee dismissed Morocco's attempt to overturn the match result, despite the 14-minute delay caused by Senegal's actions.

The penalties stem from a highly charged final, where Senegal ultimately won. The match saw controversial moments, including a disallowed goal and Senegal's temporary walk-off. These incidents marred what was otherwise a successful tournament, which generated record revenues for CAF. The focus now shifts to how these events will influence future competitions.
