Arsenal star, Aubameyang fined $10,000 by CAF for social media posts
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Linkedin

Arsenal Captain, Pierre Emerick Aubameyang, has been slapped with a fine by the Confederation of African Football (CAF) after his posts on social media were deemed “offensive and degrading”, by the governing body.

Last month, during the international break, the Arsenal star posted a string of stories on his Instagram handle when he and his teammates were delayed in the airport for more than five hours ahead of an Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against The Gambia.

The delay led to them sleeping on the floor in the airport and eventually when they left, they had only 10 hours to the match and lost the match 2-1 against The Gambia.

The Arsenal star went ahead and posted a series of photos on his Instagram handle where he wrote:

“Since 11.30pm. still waiting in Gambia and we play tomorrow at 4pm.”

In terms of Articles 10, 11, 43.1, 46, 82 of the Disciplinary Code. “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.”

    I am really taken aback by the thought pattern of some of our leaders in Africa, such a post which is meant to erupt a public apology from CAF is now meant to ridicule the player. Africa needs to do better honestly. Such a sad situation!
