Africa Nations Cup Victory Changed to Morocco... Senegal Loses Title Two Months Later

The Africa Nations Cup title has officially been awarded to Morocco after Senegal's victory was nullified due to players leaving the field in protest during the final.

The title of the 2025 Africa Nations Cup has been awarded to Morocco, just two months after Senegal's win. Reports suggest that the Confederation of African Football (CAF) nullified Senegal's victory in the final match after a chaotic incident where Senegal players protested against a penalty kick decision by leaving the field. This unrest led to a significant delay in the match, ultimately changing the course of the game. FIFA President Gianni Infantino expressed his dissatisfaction with the players' actions, labeling it an 'ugly scene.' Following the Morocco Football Association's protest regarding the regulations on leaving the game before its conclusion, CAF's Appeals Committee confirmed Morocco as the champions and Senegal with a penalty loss.
