Morocco national football team have been officially crowned winners of the Africa Cup of Nations after the Confederation of African Football overturned the original final result.

In a statement, CAF confirmed that Senegal national football team forfeited the match, leading to a 3–0 victory being awarded to Morocco.

The outcome is expected to spark debate across the football world, with fans and analysts awaiting a detailed explanation from CAF on the reasons behind the forfeiture.
