Senegal to Parade Disputed AFCON Trophy at Home Ahead of Gambia Friendly

Senegal will showcase the Africa Cup of Nations 2025 trophy to home fans before their friendly against Gambia on March 31. Gates open at 14:00 at Stade Abdoulaye Wade, followed by a live show and pre-match ceremony at 16:00. The trophy presentation is scheduled for 17:45, with kickoff at 19:00. The display underscores Senegal’s refusal to accept the Confederation of African Football’s decision to strip them of the title. In the January final in Rabat, Senegal walked off in protest before winning 1-0 in extra time. CAF later awarded Morocco a 3-0 victory and the trophy. Senegal’s Football Federation has filed an appeal with the Court of Arbitration for Sport, seeking to overturn the ruling.
