Two months after the Africa Cup of Nations final, won 1-0 by Senegal against Morocco, the Confederation of African Football (CAF) released a statement announcing that its appeals committee has decided to strip the Lions of Teranga of their African champion title, declaring them "forfeit" after they left the field for more than ten minutes following a penalty awarded to Morocco in the dying moments of the match, and to grant the Moroccan team a 3-0 victory by default.
