The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has removed Senegal from its title as winners of the Africa Cup of Nations 2025 final. Following this decision, the Senegalese Football Federation has accused CAF of corruption and called for an independent international investigation.
CAF's appeals board announced that Senegal would be stripped of its title due to "forfeiting the match" last January after the team left the field. The Senegalese Football Federation expressed strong criticism of this decision.
The Senegalese government is now involved, alleging corruption within CAF and requesting an independent international investigation into these allegations.
The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has removed Senegal from its title as winners of the Africa Cup of Nations 2025 final.
The Senegalese Football Federation plans to appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport in Lausanne, Switzerland. This legal process may take over a year to reach a conclusion.
