Senegal's Pape Gueye scores the winning goal against Morocco during the Afcon 2025 final at Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium in Rabat on January 18, 2026.
Senegal won the final in Rabat with an extra-time goal, after staging a 14-minute walk-off.
Morocco squandered a last-gasp penalty and the encounter then went to extra time.
Senegal have condemned the decision to strip them of the Africa Cup of Nations title, labelling it “unfair, unprecedented, and unacceptable”, and saying it casts a shadow over African football.
Morocco were declared African champion on Tuesday after the Confederation of African Football’s Appeal Board upheld their protest and found Senegal’s walk-off during the final on January 18 were grounds for them to be disqualified and the match result declared 3-0 in favour of the hosts.
