Senegal to Unveil 'Africa Champions 2025' Trophy, Undeterred by CAF's Morocco Ruling
Senegal is poised to present its African Cup of Nations (AFCON) trophy at the Stade de France this Saturday, ahead of their friendly match against Peru scheduled for 5 PM. This celebratory event proceeds despite a significant controversy surrounding the trophy's legitimacy.
The CAF (Confederation of African Football) had previously awarded the tournament victory to Morocco via a walkover, a decision that is currently being reviewed by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS). In a striking move, Senegal appears to disregard this CAF ruling entirely, continuing with their planned trophy presentation and acting almost as if the disputed decision never occurred.
This stance highlights a clear divergence between the official continental football body's verdict and Senegal's public celebration of its 'Champions d’Afrique 2025' title, leaving many questions about the true status of the championship.
