Senegal's President Bassirou Diomaye Faye has publicly called on Moroccan authorities to clarify the next steps regarding the release of Senegalese football fans detained in Morocco. Speaking on May 2, 2026, Faye stated, 'If there is anything else to be done, let them tell us,' urging transparency and cooperation.
The fans were arrested following clashes during a football match between Senegal and Morocco in September 2025. Reports indicate that several supporters remain in custody, with legal proceedings ongoing. Faye's comments came after diplomatic efforts to secure their release appeared stalled.
Senegalese officials have been in contact with Moroccan counterparts, but no official statement from Morocco has been issued as of May 3, 2026. The case has drawn attention from human rights groups, who call for fair treatment and due process.
