South African Woman's Viral Demand for CAF to Ban Morocco After AFCON Final
A South African woman has sparked widespread discussion across social media platforms after issuing a powerful demand to the Confederation of African Football (CAF) regarding the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations final. The individual, who identifies as @sholard_mancity online, has called for immediate and decisive action against Morocco following disturbing allegations of violence during the tournament's championship match.
Detailed Allegations of Violence and Racial Abuse
The woman claims to have watched more than ten separate video recordings showing Black African football supporters being physically assaulted and racially abused in Morocco. According to her social media post, these incidents occurred both inside stadiums and in public spaces throughout the host nation during the AFCON tournament.
"I've watched over 10 videos showing Black Africans being mistreated in Morocco, in stadiums and in public spaces," she wrote in her viral message. "If CAF is serious, the response should be clear and immediate: ban Morocco from hosting AFCON."
Specific Incident Highlighted
One particularly disturbing incident mentioned in her post involved a Senegalese fan who was allegedly beaten by Moroccan supporters immediately after Idrissa Gueye scored during the final match. This violent episode, she argues, demonstrates a pattern of unacceptable behavior that CAF must address with urgency and consistency.
"People were attacked simply because Morocco lost a match," she emphasized. "Black African lives were put at risk over football. We all saw how fast CAF moved to sanction Senegal. So the standard is already set."
Principles Over Politics
The South African woman made clear that her demand for Morocco's ban stems from principle rather than political motivation or personal animosity. She framed her position as a matter of protecting all African football supporters and maintaining the integrity of continental competitions.
"Ban Morocco now. Not out of hatred. Not out of politics. But out of principle and protection," she wrote, adding that "hosting AFCON is not a right; it is a responsibility to protect all Africans."
Mixed Social Media Reactions
The woman's call for action has generated significant debate across various social media platforms, with users expressing diverse perspectives on the matter.
Some Moroccan supporters responded defensively, with one user named @Sanatozaki1111 stating: "This is literally every Moroccan's dream right now, please stop coming to Morocco and stay wherever you are. I wish y'all could find someone to host the Women AfCon too. We don't wanna host anything related to Africa or the Arab world ever again, thank you."
Another user, @shoko_tin, offered a different perspective: "Morocco will host the next African World Cup. None of this was about Africa. Focus on the grand scheme. When the whities come, they will get first class treatment."
Meanwhile, @shakal2020 countered with claims of violence against Moroccans in Senegal: "These were Moroccans who were assaulted in Senegal, praying that Diaz would miss... and they ended up with their restaurants destroyed if Morocco won? But nobody talks about it... Shame on all of you."
Broader Context and Similar Reports
This incident follows previous reports of tension surrounding the AFCON final between Senegal and Morocco. Other individuals have also taken to social media to highlight unusual occurrences during the match, though the South African woman's comprehensive documentation of multiple violent incidents represents one of the most detailed public accounts.
The woman concluded her message with a clear declaration of solidarity: "I stand with Senegal. I stand with the victims. I stand against injustice." Her viral post continues to circulate widely as football authorities face increasing pressure to address allegations of violence and ensure safety for all supporters at future African football tournaments.
