Today, the International Football Federation (FIFA) fined Senegal 175.000 Swiss francs due to the disorder of the fans at the match of the final round of African qualifiers for the World Cup against Egypt.

Senegal beat Egypt after the penalty shootout and qualified for the World Cup in Qatar, with lasers from the stands creating a big problem for the players of the visiting team.
