Defiant Senegal to Parade Stripped AFCON Trophy in Paris
Senegal’s national team has announced plans to showcase the 2025 AFCON trophy in Paris ahead of their friendly against Peru. The move openly rejects CAF’s decision to award the title to Morocco after overturning Senegal’s on-field victory. FA president Abdoulaye Fall condemned the ruling as “the most grossly unfair administrative robbery” in football history. The Senegalese Football Federation insists it still considers the Teranga Lions as rightful champions. Beyond the symbolic parade, Senegal has filed a legal appeal at the Court of Arbitration for Sport. Their lawyers allege irregularities in CAF’s appeals process and seek an independent international investigation, with the Senegalese government’s full backing.
