Morocco was crowned Friday Africa’s Champion in indoor football, winning the 2020 Futsal African Cup of Nations for the second time in a row. They defeated Egypt’s Pharaohs in the final of the tournament 5-0 Friday evening in the Moroccan Sahara city of Laayoune. However, the Confederation of African Football (CAF), the event’s organizers, and the world football governing body FIFA dismissed the complaints and the tournament proceeded as planned. Meanwhile, CAF imposed heavy sanctions on South Africa and Mauritius for boycotting the 2020 Futsal African Cup of Nations. The two teams were each fined 75,000 dollars and suspended for the next two editions of the African Futsal tournament.
