Recently, the Confederation of African Football (CAF) made a decision that set a precedent in the history of the tournament: the Senegal national team was stripped of the title of Africa Cup champions. As a result of the review of the final against Morocco, the Senegalese team received a technical defeat with a score of 0:3.
Thus, Senegal is no longer the champion, and among the players who lost the title are stars like Sadio Mané, Idrissa Gueye, and Iliman Ndiaye.
The Morocco national team, including players such as Noussair Mazraoui, Achraf Hakimi, and Brahim Diaz, is now officially recognized as the tournament winner. The Moroccan Football Federation noted that this decision is based on the competition regulations and aims to ensure fairness and stability in African football.
This decision concludes a prolonged conflict regarding the tournament final and makes the Morocco national team the reigning champion of the continent.
