CAF's Neocolonial Coup: Denying Senegal's Pitch Triumph
CAF is being accused of neocolonial interference after a decision regarding the AFCON tournament final. The final was held at Morocco’s Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium. The decision seeks "to erase a truth displayed with energy, resilience, and tenacity on the pitch."
Senegal’s victory is being demanded to be handed over, which was won "with blood, sweat, and honor on the pitch." Pape Gueye’s 94th-minute strike settled the contest. The stated justification for overturning the victory is "a rule regarding a temporary walk-off in protest." The decision to overturn Senegal’s victory in Rabat is considered a political maneuver.
Senegal is urged to resist the demand. If this act of dispossession is allowed to stand without fierce resistance, "it will set a precedent."
