The story is over.. FIFA resolves the issue of replaying the match between Senegal and Egypt in the 2022 World Cup qualifiers

The International Football Association Board (FIFA) decided the issue of replaying the match between Egypt and Senegal in the qualifiers for the 2022 World Cup, and today issued its final decisions.

The Disciplinary Committee acknowledged that sanctions are all that Senegal will face, and that the match will not be repeated.

FIFA imposed a fine of 180,000 dollars on the Senegalese Football Association, and the holding of an upcoming official match without the presence of the fans, due to failure to implement safety rules, throwing projectiles in the stadium, using fireworks and lasers, and the presence of an offensive banner.

And the FIFA published an official statement explaining all the penalties for the teams participating in the 2022 World Cup qualifiers, and it appeared in the sanctions table that the Egyptian team was fined 6,000 Swiss francs under the team misconduct clause (6 individual penalties).

The Teranga Lions climbed to the Qatar World Cup at the expense of the Pharaohs on penalties, after a 1-1 draw in the home and away matches, after each team won with the same result, with a clean goal at home.

The World Cup draw put Senegal in Group A along with Qatar, the Netherlands and Ecuador.

The Egyptian Federation had submitted a complaint to FIFA over the events of the Senegal match in the qualifiers, which witnessed abusive behavior by the Senegalese fans, including directing laser beams to the faces of the Egyptian team players throughout the match, especially during their implementation of decisive penalty kicks.
