Late on Tuesday night, the Confederation of African Football announced it had stripped Senegal, the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations winners, of their title. Morocco are now the new African champions, with the Senegalese retrospectively forfeiting the tie 3-0 after they staged a walk-off, before returning to the match and seeing it out for a 1-0 victory. Senegal have said they will appeal the ruling.
