The Senegalese government has formally rejected CAF’s decision to strip its national team of the AFCON title, calling for an international corruption investigation into the governing body’s administrative processes.
The Senegalese government has called for an independent international inquiry into alleged corruption within CAF following the “unlawful” decision to strip the nation of its AFCON title.
Authorities expressed “deep dismay” over the ruling, which overturned Senegal’s 1–0 victory on the pitch in favor of a 3–0 forfeit for Morocco.
The government maintains that the decision contravenes sporting ethics and undermines the truth of the field.
The dispute centers on a sixteen-minute protest during the final where players briefly left the pitch.
While CAF cited a breach of regulations regarding unauthorized walk-offs, Senegal argues this is a “manifestly erroneous interpretation.”
As the state prepares legal action, a government statement warned: “Senegal cannot tolerate an administrative decision that erases commitment, merit and sporting excellence. Senegal unequivocally rejects this attempt at unjustified dispossession.”

Egyptian football legend Mido has sparked a global controversy by labeling CAF’s decision to strip Senegal of the 2025 AFCON title the “biggest scandal in football history” and calling for a total revolution in African football leadership.
Egypt legend Mido has launched a blistering attack on the Confederation of African Football (CAF) following the unprecedented decision to award Morocco the 2025 AFCON title.
Taking to social media, the former striker condemned the ruling as a stain on the continent’s reputation.
Mido stated: “The decision to take away the Cup from #Senegal and hand it to #Morocco is the biggest scandal in the History of #football.”
The 2006 AFCON winner further targeted CAF President Patrice Motsepe, accusing the organization of serving external interests and destroying the game’s integrity.
Refusing to congratulate Morocco, Mido emphasized that titles should be won on the pitch, not in offices. He added:
“We look now like idiots, backwards, corrupted continent!! Africa deserves better!! There must be a revolution in African football. All these people must go.”

Semi Ajayi has returned to Championship action after recovering from a severe hamstring injury sustained during the final minutes of Nigeria’s AFCON third-place play-off in January.
Hull City defender Semi Ajayi has revealed the personal frustration behind the “awful” timing of a hamstring injury suffered during the Africa Cup of Nations.
The Nigerian international was sidelined for eight league matches after the issue occurred in the final seconds of the third-place play-off against Egypt.
Having finally returned to the Tigers’ starting lineup, Ajayi is now focused on securing a play-off spot.
Reflecting on the setback, Ajayi admitted the severity of the scan results was unexpected given he had played nearly every minute of the tournament.
He stated: “The timing of it was awful. It was like two minutes to go in the third-place play-off, and I’d played every minute of every game pretty much before that.”
He is now determined to finish the Championship season on a positive note.
