Senegalese Football Federation

The Senegalese Football Federation (SFF) is the governing body for football in Senegal. Recent news highlights their involvement in controversies surrounding the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) final between Senegal and Morocco. The SFF is newsworthy due to their denouncement of the "incomprehensibly harsh" prison sentences given to 18 Senegalese fans in Morocco following the final. These fans were charged with hooliganism. Furthermore, the SFF and its team have been impacted by fines and bans issued by African football's governing body related to a walk-off protest and chaotic scenes during the AFCON final. These penalties affect both players and the coach. The SFF's current relevance stems from its role in managing the fallout from these events and representing Senegalese football interests in international disputes and disciplinary actions.
