Morocco declared 2025 Afcon winners as Senegal stripped of title in dramatic u-turn

• Senegal have been stripped of their 2025 Africa Cup of Nations title, with Morocco now declared the winners of the tournament.
• The decision stems from the final match where Senegal beat Morocco 1-0, but their players walked off the pitch in protest of a late penalty awarded to Morocco.
• Senegal's head coach, Pape Thiaw, instructed his players to return, causing a delay in the game.
• The Confederation of African Football (CAF) ruled that Senegal 'forfeited' the game at that moment.
• Consequently, the final has been awarded as a 3-0 victory to Morocco, as per Article 84 of the CAF Africa Cup of Nations Regulations.
