Tanzanian National Team Coach Suspended for Eight Matches by CAF

The coach of Tanzania’s national football team, Adel Amrouche, has been handed an eight-match suspension by the Confederation of African Football (CAF), following charges of misconduct.

According to the Burkina Information Agency, both the Tanzania Football Federation (TFF) and Adel Amrouche were found guilty of bringing CAF into disrepute. This verdict came after comments and allegations Amrouche made in the media about the Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF). The disciplinary action was taken under articles 82, 83, 84, and 131 of the CAF Disciplinary Code.

In addition to the suspension of Amrouche, the Tanzania Football Federation has been fined USD 10,000. This decision marks a significant disciplinary action by CAF against a national team coach in the ongoing CAN 2023 tournament.
