    Senegal Stripped Off Title, Morocco Declared 2025 AFCON Champions As CAF Overturns Final Result

    By IANS News March 18, 2026 • 10:02 AM View: 122
    The CAF Appeal Board: Morocco have been awarded the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations title after the Confederation of African Football (CAF) overturned the result of the final following Senegal's walk-off.

    Senegal had beaten Morocco 1-0 in the January 18 final, but the match was marred by controversy when Senegal's players refused to continue after Morocco was awarded a stoppage-time penalty with the score level.

    Play resumed after a 17-minute delay. Brahim Diaz's penalty was saved before Pape Gueye scored the winner for Senegal in extra time.
