JAKARTA - FIFA has sanctioned Africa Cup of Nations champions Senegal and Nigeria to play one match behind closed doors following crowd unrest during the 2022 World Cup play-offs last month.
Fans shone lasers on Egyptian star Mohamed Salah as he missed the penalty shootout in the second leg in Dakar which Senegal eventually won.
Senegal was also fined 175,000 Swiss francs over several incidents, including supporters storming the pitch, displaying offensive banners and failing to "enforce law and order in the stadium".
Reported by Antara, Monday, May 2, FIFA issued a series of sanctions around the world after studying dozens of cases from World Cup qualifying matches played since the beginning of the year.
Meanwhile Nigeria has also been sanctioned with a one-match closed stadium and a fine of 150,000 Swiss francs after supporters stormed the pitch in Abuja following their play-off defeat to Ghana.
The Democratic Republic of the Congo and Lebanon each also received similar penalties following disruptions to matches against Morocco and Syria.
