Release of Senegalese Fans Amidst Ongoing Detention
On April 18, 2026, three out of eighteen Senegalese supporters who had been sentenced to three months in prison in Morocco were released. This significant development was announced by their attorney, Patrick Kabou, through a post on his Facebook page. Kabou expressed gratitude for the prompt actions taken by Senegal's diplomatic authorities, stating, "Thank you to our diplomatic and consular representation for their efforts. I inform you of the effective release of three of our compatriots detained in Morocco." However, it is important to note that the remaining fifteen supporters continue to remain in custody, following disturbances that occurred during the Africa Cup of Nations final, which was ultimately won by Senegal.
