CAF President Patrice Motsepe says he will travel to Senegal in the coming weeks as tensions continue following the disputed AFCON 2025 final.Motsepe, addressing a news conference on Sunday, appealed for unity, stressing that football should not divide people across the continent.We support you. We are all Africans. I said the same message to Moroccans. Many Senegalese people live in Morocco; we are not going to use football to divide people. It must bring people together, he said.CAFs decision to overturn Senegals win and award a 3-0 victory to Morocco has sparked strong reactions, with the case now before the Court of Arbitration for Sport.The situation has been made more sensitive by events during the final, where 18 Senegalese fans were arrested amid unrest and have since been jailed in Morocco, further deepening concern among supporters.Motsepes planned visit is seen as an effort to calm tensions and show solidarity, as CAF awaits a final ruling from CAS on one of the most controversial decisions in the competitions history.
