Senegal are aiming to win the competition for a second time, having lifted the trophy in 2022, when they face hosts Morocco. The FSF said a "lack of adequate security" left players and staff "at risk". "What happened yesterday was not normal," Senegal manager Pape Thiaw said. Meanwhile, Thiaw said he hopes Sunday's final, which kicks off at 19:00 GMT, will not be Sadio Mane's last ever game at the tournament. Following Wednesday's semi-final win against Egypt, Mane, who scored the winner, told reporters he would not play at Afcon again.
