Senegal has been stripped of its title in the African Cup of Nations, with Morocco reportedly awarded the victory instead, according to sources including Göteborgs-Posten and Sydsvenskan. The decision follows a chaotic final match between Senegal and Morocco in January, which was held in Morocco. During the match, Senegal had a goal disallowed, and Morocco was awarded a penalty, leading to Senegalese players and officials reportedly leaving the field in protest, with Senegalese fans allegedly attempting to storm the pitch.
After the match resumed, Morocco missed the penalty, and Senegal won in a penalty shootout after extra time. However, the African Football Confederation (CAF) has now ruled that Senegal forfeited the match by leaving the field, resulting in a 3-0 win for Morocco. The sources do not specify the exact date of CAF's announcement or provide further details on penalties or appeals.
