AFCON Final Scandal: Senegal’s Victory Overturned, Morocco Crowned Champions Amidst Controversy
The 2025 Africa Cup of Nations final result has been controversially overturned by the Confederation of African Football (Caf), stripping Senegal of their 1-0 victory against Morocco and awarding a 3-0 win to Morocco. This unprecedented decision was made after several Senegalese players walked off the pitch in protest during the match, violating competition regulations. Senegal’s football federation plans to appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport, prolonging the dispute and raising questions about the fate of the trophy, medals, and prize money.
