Morocco Crowned AFCON Champions After Senegal Forfeits Final on Appeal
CAF’s Appeal Board ruled Senegal forfeited the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations final due to their walk-off protest, awarding hosts Morocco a 3-0 victory and overturning Senegal’s 1-0 extra-time win from January 18.
The decision applied Article 84 of the regulations, which mandates elimination and a default loss for teams leaving the field without permission.

Morocco celebrated with street parties and stars like Achraf Hakimi lifting the trophy, while Senegal’s camp decried it as political and fans called it unprecedented.
