Former Senegal footballer Mamadou Niang has spoken out about an incident that occurred during the AFCON, sharing what Moroccan fans allegedly did.

It can be recalled that discussions arose around goalkeeper towels being taken during matches.

Niang recalled what he witnessed during Nigeria’s match, saying “We saw what happened against Nigeria, where the Nigerian goalkeeper, Nwabali, had to keep going to the bench to get a towel to dry his gloves and his face.

“And then it happened again several times. They took Édouard Mendy’s towel, maybe five or six times.” Many have since stated that this is an issue that needs to be addressed.
