Claims circulating online that the Confederation of African Football (CAF) has stripped Senegal of its 2025 Africa Cup of Nations title and awarded it to Morocco are false. A thorough fact-check using verified news sources and official CAF channels finds no evidence to support this story.
The 2025 AFCON tournament has not yet been played. The most recent edition was the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations, hosted by CΓ΄te d'Ivoire, which concluded in February 2024. Senegal won the previous tournament, the 2021 AFCON, held in Cameroon in 2022.
There are no credible reports from CAF, major news agencies, or sports governing bodies about an appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) regarding the 2021 title. The scenario described in the source article appears to be fabricated.
CAF's official communications and the upcoming tournament schedule remain unchanged. Morocco is scheduled to host the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, with the qualifying process ongoing.
