The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has categorically denied a false report circulating online claiming that Senegal's 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) title was revoked by an appeals jury and awarded to Morocco. No such official statement exists from the governing body.

Senegal won the 2025 AFCON tournament, held in Morocco, by defeating the host nation 2-0 in the final on July 19, 2025. This victory marked Senegal's second continental title. The result was confirmed at the time and has not been subject to any official appeal or overturn.

CAF maintains strict protocols for disciplinary and appeals processes, but there is no record of any successful appeal against the sporting result of the 2025 final. The original source article appears to be based on fabricated information.

Fans and football associations are advised to rely only on official communications from CAF's verified channels for accurate information regarding competition results and disciplinary matters.
