Morocco declared Afcon 2025 winners as CAF overturns Senegal final loss. The Confederation of African Football (CAF) ruled Senegal forfeited the match after their players walked off in protest over a stoppage-time penalty awarded to Morocco. The original 1-0 Senegal victory on 18 January—decided by Pape Gueye’s extra-time goal—was annulled, with the scoreline changed to 3-0 for Morocco under Article 84 of the tournament’s regulations. CAF deemed Senegal’s refusal to resume play a violation of Article 82, which penalizes teams that abandon matches without authorization.
