The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has officially awarded Morocco the title of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON). The decision follows the conclusion of the tournament's administrative and disciplinary review processes.
In response, the Senegalese Football Federation has announced its intention to appeal the decision to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS). The federation stated it is preparing its case to challenge the awarding of the title.
Former Moroccan international Mustapha Hadji commented on the situation, stating he believed "justice has been served" for Morocco following CAF's ruling. His remarks were reported in response to the initial announcement.
The 2025 AFCON, originally scheduled to be hosted by Guinea, was relocated to Morocco. The final match and the circumstances leading to the post-tournament adjudication have been the subject of significant discussion within African football.
