Senegal President Defies CAF, Updates Profile Pic With AFCON Trophy

Senegal’s president has sparked a viral moment by updating his social media profile picture to include the AFCON trophy in the background. This comes after CAF stripped Senegal of its 2025 AFCON title and awarded Morocco a 3-0 win, 58 days after Senegal beat them in extra time. The original final ended in controversy when Senegal walked off the pitch in protest over a disallowed goal and a late VAR-awarded penalty for Morocco. Senegal’s Football Federation insists the trophy will stay in the country. Secretary General Abdoulaye Sow called CAF corrupt and vowed to fight the decision. President Bassirou Diomaye Faye’s new profile photo underlines Senegal’s refusal to hand over the cup.
