Senegal internationals Iliman Ndiaye and Idrissa Gueye have playfully teased Moroccan midfielder Sofyan Amrabat following Senegal's victory at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON). The incident stems from comments Amrabat made before the tournament, where he reportedly expressed confidence that Morocco would win the competition.
In a video circulating on social media, the two Everton players, Ndiaye and Gueye, are seen referencing Amrabat's prediction after Senegal's triumph. The exact nature of the exchange involves light-hearted banter directed at their Premier League rival. Both players were key members of the Senegal squad that secured the AFCON title in early 2025.
The friendly rivalry highlights the camaraderie and competitive spirit among African stars in Europe's top leagues. Such exchanges are common in football culture following major tournament outcomes. The incident has been reported by several sports outlets as a humorous postscript to the continental championship.
