Morocco Receives AFCON Title Following Reversal of Senegals Victory

The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has officially declared Morocco as the winners of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), following a decision to overturn the results of the final match in which they were defeated by Senegal.

The final, originally played on July 14, 2025, saw Senegal claiming the title in a closely contested match. However, subsequent reviews by CAF uncovered discrepancies related to eligibility criteria, leading to the decision to reverse the outcome. This marks a significant development in African football and has implications for future tournaments and player eligibility.

CAF is expected to release further details regarding the specific reasons for the overturning of the final results and any potential impacts on the tournaments record. This change not only alters the history books for the 2025 AFCON but also reignites discussions about governance and regulatory practices within the organization.
