The Cultural and Sports Association (ASC) Lebougui of Dangou Rufisque in Senegal has raised concerns about the detention conditions of several Senegalese football supporters held in Morocco. The individuals were arrested following incidents during the final of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), which was hosted by Morocco.
According to statements from ASC Lebougui, the detained supporters are facing difficult conditions. The association has called for intervention from Senegalese authorities and human rights organizations to ensure their rights are respected and to facilitate their repatriation.
Reports indicate the arrests occurred after the AFCON final, which saw Morocco defeat Senegal. While Moroccan authorities have not released an official statement specifically addressing these detentions, such post-match arrests are not uncommon following major sporting events.
The situation highlights ongoing diplomatic and human rights considerations between the two nations. ASC Lebougui continues to advocate for the supporters' welfare and a swift resolution to their detention.
