Just In: Shock As CAF Reportedly Strips Senegal Of 2025 AFCON Title
Written by News Desk on March 17, 2026
The Football World has been thrown into disbelief and shock as the Confederation of African Football, CAF, reportedly declares the Atlas Lions of Morocco winner of the 2025 African Cup of Nations.
Recall that the Terenga Lions of Senegal defeated Host Nation Morocco 1-0 in the final game of the tournament, a match that was marred with drama and controversies.
The Senegalese players staged a walk out of the pitch after Morocco were controversially awarded a penalty in the dying minutes of the game.
It took the intervention of Star Forward Sadio Mane to recall his teammates back to the field for the match to continue.
Few minutes after the restart, Senegal took the lead and were eventually crowned champions of Africa.
However, there is a twist as the CAF appeal board on Tuesday reportedly stripped Senegal of the title and awarded it to Morocco
“The CAF Appeal Board decided that in application of Article 84 of the Regulations of the CAF Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), the Senegal National Team is declared to have forfeited the Final Match of the TotalEnergies CAF Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) Morocco 2025 (“the Match”), with the result of the Match being recorded as 3–0 in favour of the Fédération Royale Marocaine de Football (FRMF).”
