Sports Minister Simplice-Desire Mamboula announced the measures after the 3-2 defeat by Ivory Coast on December 31. Gabon finished bottom of their group in Morocco after earlier losses to Cameroon and Mozambique, performances Mamboula described as “disgraceful”.
Gabon, whose exit from the tournament was confirmed before the Ivory Coast game, let slip a two-goal lead in Marrakech. Former Arsenal and Chelsea striker Aubameyang did not play in the final group game after returning to Marseille for treatment on a thigh injury.
