The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has officially stripped Senegal of their AFCON 2025 title following a successful appeal, with Morocco now declared champions.
The decision comes after CAF’s disciplinary and appeals committees reviewed a formal complaint challenging the outcome of the final match. While details surrounding the appeal were not fully disclosed, the ruling effectively nullifies Senegal’s victory and hands the البطولة to Morocco.
Senegal, who were initially celebrated as champions after the final, now lose the title in what is expected to spark widespread reactions across African football. Morocco, on the other hand, benefit from the ruling and are officially recognized as the new winners of the tournament.
CAF stated that the decision follows due process and aligns with its regulations, emphasizing its commitment to fairness and integrity in continental competitions.
Further details on the reasons behind the ruling and any possible sanctions are expected to be communicated in due course.
