The Confederation of African Football has officially awarded the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations title to Morocco following the forfeiture of the final by Senegal.
In a statement, CAF confirmed that Senegal’s decision to forfeit the fixture led to Morocco being declared champions under tournament regulations. The governing body did not immediately provide full details surrounding the circumstances that led to the forfeiture.
The ruling brings an abrupt end to the tournament, with Morocco securing the continental crown without the final being played. CAF reiterated its commitment to upholding competition rules, noting that the decision was taken after reviewing the situation in line with its statutes.
Further information regarding the forfeiture and any potential disciplinary measures is expected to be communicated in due course.
