A court in Rabat has handed down varying prison sentences to 18 Senegalese supporters following their trial over incidents that occurred in the final of the 2025 African Cup of Nations between Morocco and Senegal.
According to court proceedings, the defendants received jail terms ranging from three months to one year, depending on the degree of involvement established for each individual during the hearing.
The court ruled that some of the supporters would serve three-month sentences, while others were sentenced to six months.
Those found to have played more significant roles in the incident were handed one-year prison terms.
The trial attracted attention due to the number of foreign nationals involved and the circumstances surrounding the case.
Authorities in Rabat maintained that the judicial process was conducted in accordance with Moroccan law, with each defendant’s level of participation carefully assessed before sentencing.
Further details regarding possible appeals or diplomatic interventions were not immediately available at the time of filing this report.
