Three Senegalese football supporters who were detained in Morocco following the Africa Cup of Nations (CAN) have returned to Dakar, according to reports from Senegalese media. The fans were among a group arrested during the tournament, which took place in Morocco from December 2025 to January 2026.
The exact reasons for their detention remain unclear, but local sources indicate they were held for alleged incidents during the competition. The Senegalese government confirmed their release and repatriation on May 7, 2026.
Senegal's Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that diplomatic efforts facilitated their return. The fans arrived at Blaise Diagne International Airport and were greeted by family members. No further details on the legal status of other detained supporters have been provided.
