December 10, 2020
The Confederation of African Football (Caf) has issued a number of sanctions for breaches of its regulations.
There was a $10,000 fine for Arsenal striker Pierre Emerick Aubameyang for his social media posts when he and his Gabon team-mates were not allowed to leave the airport on arriving in The Gambia.
Caf’s statement said that “Aubameyang has publicly published offensive and degrading material that undermines the honour and image of the Confederation of African Football.
“The Caf Disciplinary Board decided to impose a fine of 10,000 USD for breach of the values of sportsmanship and integrity on the Gabonese Football Federation for the regrettable behaviour of the player.”
