CAF Disciplinary Board Issues Fines to Three Nations Over CHAN Regulation Breaches

By Niyi Busari 

The Confederation of African Football (CAF) Disciplinary Board has imposed sanctions on Zambia, Kenya, and Morocco for violating regulations during the ongoing African Nations Championship (CHAN), BSNSports.com.ng reports.

Zambia was fined $5,000 for breaching CAF’s media regulations after failing to present their head coach at the mandatory matchday-one press conference before their clash with the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Kenya received the heaviest penalty — a $50,000 fine — for multiple safety and security lapses during their match against Morocco at the Moi International Sports Centre, Kasarani.

Morocco was sanctioned for the inappropriate conduct of its players during the same fixture against Kenya. CAF imposed a $5,000 fine, with $2,500 suspended on condition that no similar offence is committed for the remainder of the tournament.

According to CAF, all fines must be paid within two months of the official notification of the decision.
