CAF strips Senegal, Brazil’s World Cup rival win African Cup | OneFootball

The Appeals Committee of the Confederation of African Football (CAF) has stripped Senegal of the title it won at the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) on January 18 and declared Morocco, Brazil’s opponent in the group stage of the World Cup, the winner, the highest authority in African football announced on Tuesday night.

CAF decided to “declare that the Senegalese team lost the final by walkover,” a final that Senegal had won 1-0, “with the result officially recorded as 3-0” in favor of the Moroccan team, the statement specified.

Several Senegalese players temporarily left the field during the final in protest against a refereeing decision.
