Senegal's Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) title has been controversially stripped and awarded to Morocco following a late protest by Senegalese players during the final match on January 18, 2026.

• CAF declared Senegal to have forfeited the match, officially recording the result as 3-0 in favour of Morocco.
• Senegalese fans and football authorities have condemned the decision as a "disgrace for Africa" and an "unprecedented scandal," with an appeal planned to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).
• The decision stems from Senegalese players walking off the pitch in protest after a penalty was awarded to Morocco late in stoppage time, violating AFCON regulations regarding leaving the field.
