CAF Verdict: Morocco Officially 2025 AFCON Champions as Senegal Result is Wiped

Is football played on the grass or in the office?

That’s the question every African football fan is asking today. Senegal saved the penalty, played the extra 30 minutes, and put the ball in the net—yet they aren’t the champions.

While Moroccan fans are celebrating their first title in 50 years, many feel it’s a “tainted” victory that wasn’t earned through goals. For the Senegalese, this feels like a repeat of every “dark arts” story in football history.

The “Lions of Teranga” might have lost the trophy in the books, but in the hearts of millions, they are still the kings of Africa.
