1 / 4

African football is in uproar after CAF reportedly asked Sadio Mané to hand over his AFCON MVP award. The governing body plans to give the trophy to Brahim Díaz, who starred for Morocco. This follows CAF’s controversial decision to strip Senegal of the title and award it to Morocco. The official reason cites a brief player protest over a VAR-related penalty call during the final. Observers call this unprecedented. Some argue CAF wants individual honours to reflect the new champions. Others warn the move undermines the competition’s integrity.
