AFCON final result overturned! Social media reacts to Senegal's 'loss'
Published on March 18, 2026.
The Confederation of Africa Football (CAF) has overturned the final result of Senegal's match against Morocco, declaring that they are the official Africa Cup of Nations champions. This decision came after Senegal's players left the field in protest during stoppage time when Morocco was awarded a penalty. CAF's appeal board ruled that Senegal had forfeited the match and its 1-0 win in extra time became a 3-0 default win for the host nation. Some fans were confused about the length of the ruling, given the clear CAF rules.
