Senegal plans to parade the Africa Cup of Nations trophy at their friendly against Peru in Paris, defying a Confederation of African Football decision that stripped them of the title. The Lions of Teranga defeated Morocco 1-0 in January's chaotic final, but Caf overturned the result, awarding Morocco a 3-0 victory instead.

Senegal's Football Federation president Abdoulaye Fall called the decision 'administrative robbery' and vowed a 'crusade' against the ruling. The Court of Arbitration for Sport is reviewing Senegal's appeal after confirming receipt of their case. Fall announced a legal team to fight what they call an 'unprecedented' reversal of a completed match result.

The controversy erupted when Senegal players walked off after Morocco was awarded a stoppage-time penalty. Morocco's Brahim Diaz missed the decisive kick. Caf initially rejected Morocco's complaint but later reversed course, citing regulations against teams leaving the field early. Senegal's government has demanded an investigation into 'suspected corruption' at Caf.
