The Confederation of African Football has overturned a major sports final result, declaring Senegal "declared to have forfeited the final" and resulting in a 3-0 default win for Morocco. The decision was made after Senegal players led by coach Pape Thiaw left the field during stoppage time in protest when Morocco was awarded a penalty. Senegal later announced it would appeal the decision to the Court of Arbitration for Sport, a Swiss-based body that settles sports-related disputes through arbitration or mediation. The verdict gives Morocco its first African title since 1976 and denies Senegal's second title within three editions.
