AFCON 2025: Senegal Criticizes CAF and Seeks Complete Transparency

The Senegalese government has requested an international inquiry into alleged corruption within the Confederation of African Football after the contentious decision to revoke the national team’s AFCON 2025 title and grant it to Morocco.

In an official statement, authorities characterized the ruling as “profoundly unjust” and in opposition to the essential principles of sporting fairness and integrity.

The Senegalese government, resolute in its stance, declared its intention to explore every possible legal option, including international courts, to reclaim what it believes to be a rightful victory on the field. It emphasized the necessity for an independent investigation into CAF’s governance, contending that the credibility of African football is currently at risk.

This escalation turns the disagreement into a significant political and sporting crisis, as Senegal pledges to uphold the honor of its national team and the integrity of the Africa Cup of Nations.
