Wait, I thought Senegal won Afcon, now it鈥檚 Morocco?!
Senegal has been stripped of the title two months(!!!) after the game.
Senegal has been stripped of their 2025 Africa Cup of Nations title.
Senegal beat Morocco 1-0 in January's final but Caf (the Confederation of African Football) has changed the result. It鈥檚 because Senegal's players walked off the pitch in protest when Morocco was given a penalty.
We LOVE a bit of drama on What in the World and this truly feels like something out of our fave reality TV shows (think Big Brother, Traitors and America鈥檚 Next Top Model).
Isaac Fanin, the guy with all the sports intel, was there on the night it happened and takes us through it - how are Africans feeling and what鈥檚 next? Will the Senegalese have to give up their medals?!
