Senegal will not be part of the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations after the Confederation of African Football today disqualified Teranga Lions.

Caf's Disciplinary Committee at its meeting in Cairo, looked into the incidents that led to the abandonment of the second leg match between Senegal and Ivory Coast in final round qualifier in Dakar.
