In the decision-making game of the World Cup qualification on March 29th between the current Africa Cup winner Senegal and Egypt, the Senegalese fans were negative through abusive posters, especially against the Egyptian Liverpool striker Mohammed Salah. In addition, the Egyptian was irritated with laser points when the penalty shootout. Salah then missed the penalty.
The Egyptian Association then raised allegations of racism against the fans of Senegal. FIFA has now sentenced the Senegalese association to a fine of CHF 175,000 (around 170,900 euros).
Platzsturm after ending in the World Cup qualification
The Nigerian Association must pay a penalty of CHF 150,000 (around 146,500 euros). After Nigeria missed the World Cup in Qatar in March after a 1-1 win over Ghana, rioting fans stormed the field, threw objects and destroyed benches, goal nets and advertising banner.
Both associations were also occupied with a spectator spell. The respective next international match takes place without fans.
