Senegalese international footballer Idrissa Gana Gueye has stated he would be willing to return his Africa Cup of Nations medals to Morocco. The comment was made in a recent interview, where Gueye expressed a personal sentiment of solidarity, though the practical mechanism for such an action remains unclear.
Gueye, who plays for Everton, was part of the Senegal squad that defeated Morocco in the 2021 AFCON quarter-finals en route to winning the tournament in 2022. His remarks appear to reference that competitive history between the two nations' teams.
There is no indication from football governing bodies CAF or FIFA that any official request or process exists for athletes to transfer competitive medals to another nation. The statement is viewed as a symbolic personal gesture rather than a formal proposal.
As of March 2026, neither the Moroccan nor Senegalese football federations have issued a public response to Gueye's comments. The player has not elaborated further on how such a return would be facilitated.
