The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has officially awarded Morocco a 3-0 victory in a postponed 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifier against Senegal. The decision follows Senegal's forfeit of the match, which was originally scheduled for June 2024 but was repeatedly delayed.

According to CAF regulations, a team that fails to honor a fixture is considered to have lost the match 3-0. The fixture was part of the qualifying campaign for the 2025 AFCON tournament, which will be held in Morocco. Both nations had already secured qualification prior to this ruling.

The forfeit does not impact the final Group L standings, with both Morocco and Senegal advancing to the finals. The decision formalizes the result for the record, concluding the administrative process for the delayed match.
