Africa-Press – Eritrea. The AFCON 2025 final controversy, where CAF stripped Senegal and awarded the title to Morocco, continues to attract strong media attention.
Just when the matter seemed settled, new revelations have cast doubt on the conduct of the disciplinary proceedings within the Confederation of African Football.
Reports attributed to journalist Romain Molina suggest that external influences may have impacted the review of the case pitting Morocco against Senegal.
The Moroccan complaint, initially rejected, centered on alleged rule violations during the final. Despite this rejection, sanctions were imposed on both teams, sparking confusion on the Moroccan side.
Determined to challenge this decision, the federation won its appeal.
The panel ultimately recognized irregularities, going so far as to alter the sporting outcome by awarding the trophy to Morocco.
A bold but controversial decision that reignites debates over the fairness and credibility of African soccer’s governing bodies, led by Patrice Motsepe.
