How Senegal Aims to Reclaim the AFCON 2025 Title from Morocco
Senegal is mounting a legal challenge after CAF’s Appeal Board controversially awarded the AFCON 2025 title to Morocco. They contend the match was completed on the pitch despite a temporary walk-off over a penalty decision. Their argument centers on an alleged misapplication of Article 82. Since play resumed under the referee and reached its natural end, Senegal insists the 1-0 victory should stand and views the forfeiture sanction as disproportionate. With the dispute headed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport, Senegal’s federation believes it can overturn CAF’s ruling, restore its champion status, and uphold the competition’s integrity.
