Following a tumultuous CAN 2025 final marred by numerous incidents, for which both teams faced penalties, Senegal initially secured a 1-0 victory over Morocco. However, on Tuesday, the Confederation of African Football (CAF) appeals jury ultimately overturned the result, declaring the Atlas Lions the winners by forfeit. While this case is expected to unfold over several more months, it is confirmed that it will have no bearing on either team’s participation in the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
