CAF nullifies Senegal's AFCON victory, declares Morocco champions
CAF (Confederation of African Football) declared the Moroccan men's national team the winner of the 2025 TotalEnergies CAF Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) on March 17, 2026, after an appeal by the Fédération Royale Marocaine de Football (FRMF). The decision nullifies Senegal's victory in the final match, citing their players' walk-off as grounds for forfeiture under Article 84 of the Regulations of the CAF Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).
The CAF Appeal Board ruled in favor of the FRMF, setting aside the previous CAF Disciplinary Board decision. The board declared Senegal to have forfeited the match, with the result recorded as 3-0 in favor of Morocco. The board upheld the FRMF's protest, finding that the conduct of the Senegal team infringed Article 82 of the Regulations of the Africa Cup of Nations.
