The Navétanes final between ASC Moulaye Fall and ASC Jappo did not get under way on Saturday in Mboro, Senegal, after a dispute over shirt colours. Jappo, wearing white shirts, asked Moulaye Fall, dressed in red, to change its kit, but the opposing team refused, Seneweb reports.

Jappo says Moulaye Fall had declared yellow shirts before turning up in red. Jappo, for its part, had declared blue shirts but arrived in white. Tensions then escalated into stone-throwing, dispersing supporters who had gathered for the local derby, according to Seneweb.
