Africa-Press – Ethiopia. <\/strong><\/span>The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has announced Morocco as winners of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.<\/p>\n

The CAF Appeal Board ruled in favour of Morocco, declaring that Senegal forfeited the AFCON final by walking off the field during the game.<\/p>\n

Morocco were awarded a 3\u20130 walkover victory.<\/p>\n

This decision upholds Morocco\u2019s appeal following the chaotic events in the match.<\/p>\n

The Senegal team briefly walked off the pitch in protest after a controversial penalty was awarded to Morocco late in regulation time.<\/p>\n

They were called back to the field by their captain, Sadio Mane\u0301, and later won the game 1\u20130.<\/p>\n

CAF determined that this action constituted a violation of Article 84, or the equivalent regulations concerning refusal to play or abandoning the field.<\/p>\n

Under AFCON rules, a team that refuses to continue playing or leaves the field without authorization faces elimination and forfeiture of the match.<\/p>\n
