Gambia’s football federation was fined $100,000 (83,000 euros) after Gabon’s squad were detained at an airport for more than five hours on the eve of an Africa Cup of Nations qualifier, the Confederation of African Football (CAF) announced.
In another twist, Gabon skipper and Arsenal star Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was sanctioned for posting photos of his teammates who were forced to sleep on the floor.
The Gabon federation were fined $10,000 after Aubameyang “publicly published offensive and degrading material that undermines the honour and image of the Confederation of African Football,” said a statement.
