An article circulating online claims the Confederation of African Football (CAF) has canceled Senegal's victory in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) and crowned Morocco champion instead, citing comments from pundit Jamie Carragher. A fact-check reveals this report is entirely fabricated.
No official statement from CAF or credible news outlet supports the claim of overturning the 2025 tournament result. The 2025 AFCON, to be hosted by Morocco, has not yet been played. Senegal is the reigning champion from the 2023 tournament held in Côte d'Ivoire.
There is no record of former footballer and Sky Sports analyst Jamie Carragher making the quoted remarks about a canceled AFCON final. Carragher primarily comments on English and European football, not African football administration.
CAF's official communications and major sports news agencies report no such disciplinary action or title reassignment. The story appears to be an example of sports-related misinformation.
