How Senegal Aims to Reclaim the AFCON 2025 Title from Morocco

How Senegal Aims to Reclaim the AFCON 2025 Title from Morocco — 1 of 4
1 / 4

Senegal is mounting a legal challenge after CAF’s Appeal Board controversially awarded the AFCON 2025 title to Morocco. They contend the match was completed on the pitch despite a temporary walk-off over a penalty decision. Their argument centers on an alleged misapplication of Article 82. Since play resumed under the referee and reached its natural end, Senegal insists the 1-0 victory should stand and views the forfeiture sanction as disproportionate. With the dispute headed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport, Senegal’s federation believes it can overturn CAF’s ruling, restore its champion status, and uphold the competition’s integrity.

It seems odd that the match was deemed completed despite a temporary walk-off, then the title was handed to Morocco anyway.

Senegal team should gather clear evidence on CAF rules and precedents before filing, so their case doesn't fall apart on technicalities.
