AFCON 2023: Tanzania Coach Adel Amrouche Banned and Fined by CAF

Tanzania coach, Adel Amrouche, is facing significant repercussions following accusations of corruption against Morocco. The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has imposed a ban of 8 games and a fine of $10,000 on Amrouche

Tanzania's coach, Adel Amrouche, finds himself in hot water as the Confederation of African Football (CAF) imposes a hefty penalty following his accusations of corruption against Morocco.

In a shocking turn of events, Amrouche boldly claimed that Morocco wields undue influence in African football, going as far as suggesting their involvement in referee selection for games. These allegations, however, have come at a cost for the outspoken coach.

Amrouche's controversial statements unfolded just before Tanzania faced off against Morocco in the AFCON 2023, a match that would end in a 0-3 defeat for the Tanzanian side.

The disciplinary measures taken by CAF include an 8-game ban and a fine of $10,000. This stern response underscores the gravity of the accusations made by Amrouche, as CAF strives to maintain integrity within the realm of African football.

Unfortunately, the repercussions don't end there for Adel Amrouche. In the wake of the CAF decision, Tanzania has opted to part ways with their coach. The termination of Amrouche's contract signals a tumultuous chapter for Tanzanian football, raising questions about the broader implications of such controversies within the sport.
