Arsenal Captain, Pierre Emerick Aubameyang, has been slapped with a fine by the Confederation of African Football (CAF).
The sanction was handed out to the star for criticizing CAF
after having been forced to sleep in an airport alongside his teammates ahead
of the Group D Africa Cup of Nations qualifier versus the Gambian side.
The judgment read on the CAF official site ”The CAF Disciplinary Board decided to impose
a fine of 10,000 USD for breach of the values of sportsmanship and integrity on
the Gabonese Football Federation for the regrettable behavior of the player.”
”In terms of the CAF Statutes & Regulations; of Articles
10, 11, 43.1, 46, 82 of the Disciplinary Code. Mr. Pierre Emerick Emiliano
François Aubameyang has publicly published offensive and degrading material
that undermines the honor and image of the Confederation of African Football,”
it further read.
The Gabon side was slated to play the West
African country
in Bakau, but they arrived at the Banjul International Airport and were delayed.
Despite providing their COVID-19 results to the immigration
officers for checks. with reports, their passports were still seized which made
the team spend the night at the airport.
