World Cup
Senegal punished and indoor laser for Salah
FIFA announced it will penalize the Senegalese Football Federation with a behind closed doors match penalty and a €200,000 fine over the episodes and the use of lasers in Salah.
The FIFA Disciplinary Committee decided to punish Senegal with a game behind closed doors and a fine of 200,000 euros for what happened against Egypt in the last qualifying round in which they qualified for the World Cup.
They were particularly fined for the incidents on and off the field, the racist attack on members of the Egypt national team and the use of lasers, particularly around the time Salah took the penalties.
