The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has dismissed Morocco’s protest seeking to strip Senegal of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations title following chaotic scenes during the tournament’s final in Rabat. CAF ruled that the protest lacked merit, effectively confirming Senegal’s 1–0 extra-time victory and maintaining the Teranga Lions as champions of Africa. While rejecting the protest, CAF imposed heavy disciplinary sanctions on both football associations and several individuals involved in the incident, citing violations of the CAF Disciplinary Code. CAF fined the Royal Moroccan Football Federation 200,000 dollars for the inappropriate behaviour of ball boys during the final. The rejection of Morocco’s protest brings final closure to the controversy surrounding the AFCON 2025 final and confirms Senegal as Africa’s champions.
