The incidents that occurred on October 13 at the Léopold Sédar Senghor stadium during Senegal’s elimination from the CAN 2013 qualifiers have led to financial repercussions. The Confederation of African Football (CAF) imposed sanctions, including a $100,000 fine and a one-year suspension. Now, the cost of renovating the stadium, estimated at around 1.5 billion FCFA (approximately 2.3 million euros), must be covered by the Senegalese government. There is also discussion about potentially playing Senegal’s matches at other stadiums, with the Mauritanian football federation offering its stadium for the 2014 World Cup qualifiers. However, there are concerns and opposition to the idea of hosting Senegal’s matches outside the country.
