The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has issued a statement categorically denying a false report circulating online which claimed that the result of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) final had been overturned. The report falsely stated that Senegal's victory had been annulled and the title awarded to host nation Morocco.
CAF's communication department confirmed to verified news agencies that the original result of the final, played on February 9, 2025, in Rabat, stands. Senegal defeated Morocco 2-1 to win their second AFCON title. No official appeal or disciplinary commission review has overturned this result.
The source of the false claim appears to be a fabricated social media post and subsequent unverified websites. CAF urges the public and media to rely only on its official channels for accurate information regarding competition results and disciplinary matters.
