In a stunning and controversial ruling, the Confederation of African Football Appeals Board has declared that Senegal forfeited the 2025 AFCON final after their protest spiraled out of control.
The verdict is ruthless and final: 3-0 awarded to Morocco. No replay. No second chance. No debate.
That single decision flips the entire tournament on its head.
THIS MEANS THAT;
Senegal go from Winners to disqualified losers
Morocco win 3-0.
Morocco go from Losers to official AFCON 2025 champions.
One of the most dramatic finals in Africa Cup of Nations history ends not on the pitch—but in the courtroom
Meanwhile, Morocco didn’t need extra time, penalties, or a comeback. They win the title by decision, dominance, and discipline off the pitch.
Senegal gambled.
CAF responded.
Morocco walks away with the crown.
