Sénégal vs Maroc/@CAF
The Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF) does not seem ready to throw in the towel in the case of the match lost to Senegal by the narrowest of margins, in the final of the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON 2025).
The Moroccan football authority intends to exhaust every possible avenue to obtain a favorable outcome, even if it means taking the case to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) should the Confederation of African Football (CAF) not respond positively to their appeal.
The FRMF is particularly contesting the lack of firmness towards the Senegalese players who left the pitch in protest against Congolese referee Jean-Jacques Ndala Ngambo's decision to award a penalty to the Lions.
After the controversy surrounding the match between Espérance de Tunis (Tunisia) and Wydad Casablanca (Morocco), African football once again finds itself at the heart of a scandal that tarnishes its brand image.
