Morocco Awarded Afcon Title After CAF Overturns Final Result. Confederation of African Football overturned the Afcon final result, awarding Morocco a 3-0 victory over Senegal. The decision came after Senegal national football team were ruled to have forfeited the match following a controversial walk-off. Senegal had originally won 1-0 after extra time against Morocco national football team in the January 18 final. The dispute began when referee Jean Jacques Ndala awarded Morocco a stoppage-time penalty, prompting Senegal players to leave the pitch. CAF ruled Senegal breached tournament regulations by refusing to play, triggering an automatic 3-0 loss. The Senegalese Football Federation said it will appeal the decision at the Court of Arbitration for Sport. Morocco’s appeal was upheld by CAF, citing rules requiring teams to complete matches or face forfeiture. The controversy drew criticism from figures including Gianni Infantino, who condemned the scenes during the final.
