Confederation of African Football (CAF) has overturned the result of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations final, stripping Senegal of the title and officially declaring Morocco champions after a dramatic ruling by its Appeal Committee.
Gatekeepers News reports that the decision reverses Senegal’s earlier 1–0 victory over Morocco, with CAF awarding the match as a 3–0 win in favour of the North African side following what it described as a forfeit.
The controversy stems from chaotic scenes during the final in Rabat, where Senegal players briefly walked off the pitch in protest over a disputed penalty decision and other officiating issues.
After reviewing Morocco’s appeal, CAF ruled that Senegal’s actions violated competition regulations, leading to the forfeiture of the match under its disciplinary code.
