The Senegalese Football Federation (FSF) has announced plans for a national tour to display the Africa Cup of Nations trophy, following the team's victory in the 2025 tournament hosted by Morocco. The decision comes after a successful campaign that was overshadowed by significant post-match disturbances.
The 2025 AFCON final, held in Rabat, was followed by incidents involving fans and security forces, casting a shadow over the tournament's organization. Reports from the time detail clashes and logistical issues outside the stadium following Senegal's win.
Despite the controversy surrounding the final, the Senegalese team's performance throughout the competition was widely praised. The planned trophy tour is intended to allow the nation to celebrate the achievement with the players, separate from the events of the final night.
Football authorities have acknowledged the need to review security protocols for major finals. The trophy exhibition is scheduled to begin in Dakar in the coming weeks, with further stops across the country to be confirmed by the FSF.
