Three federations singled out for infractions during the ongoing continental tournament.
CHAN 2024: CAF sanctions Zambia, Kenya and Morocco for disciplinary breaches
The Confederation of African Football has fined Zambia, Kenya and Morocco on August 13, 2025, for violations recorded during the TotalEnergies CHAN 2024. The incidents took place during the group stage in Lusaka and Kasarani.
Zambia: Head coach absent from press conference
The Zambian Football Federation was penalized for failing to comply with media protocol. Ahead of the match against DR Congo, the head coach did not attend the mandatory press conference. This breach resulted in a fine of $5,000, payable within 60 days.
Kenya: Security lapses at Moi International Sports Centre
The Kenyan federation was found guilty of several security shortcomings during the match against Morocco. The disciplinary panel noted a lack of personnel inside the stadium, as well as the failure to enforce road closures on match days. A fine of $50,000 was imposed, along with a warning: any repeat offense could see matches relocated.
Morocco: Inappropriate player conduct
The Royal Moroccan Football Federation was sanctioned for the behavior of certain players during the same match against Kenya. The panel handed down a fine of $5,000, half of which is suspended. This suspension remains in force until the end of CHAN 2024, provided no further violations occur.
All three federations must settle the imposed amounts within the regulatory deadlines. These decisions underscore CAF's determination to uphold disciplinary standards and ensure compliance with regulations during its major competitions.
