Morocco is the winner of the African Cupwhose final was played at its stadium in Rabat on January 18, due to Senegal’s failure to appear. This has been estimated by the Appeal Board of the Confederation of African Football (CAF), following the appeal presented by the North African federation.
In a controversial final that was decided in extra time, the Senegal players threatened to boycott protest against arbitration decisions at the end of the game and even left the field, but returned at the request of their captain, Sadio Mane.
The Senegalese team ended up winning in extra time 0-1 with a goal from Pope Gueyebut the abandonment of the field was protested by Moroccowhich he complained to the CAF. This Tuesday’s decision grants him the title of 3-0 champion in a decision that will surely cause a queue.
