Failing to comply and holding on to the Trophy
This will be a loss especially to the up and coming young Senegalese footballers who will be denied the chance to play football at the highest level.
No Afcon from U17 to Senior both Women and Men
And No Senegalese Clubs will be involved in both Fifa and CAF Competitions
No Senegalese Players will be considered on Continental podium (Honors)
Let Senegal hand over the trophy for peace sake and for the love of Football ⚽ they made a mistake by boycotting play and leave the field of play, they are all professionals and they know the rules. It is unfortunate.
Even though the rulling is somehow unfair. Caf rules should be respected at the end of the day.
CAF Committee President “Justice Roli Daibo from Nigeria” has confirmed.
CAF expects Senegal to transfer the $10m prize money back into their account — but Senegal has rejected the demand, calling it racist and favoritism.
They have vowed they will never do it. 😳
Senegal won the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) and were awarded $10 million in prize money.

Former presidential candidate and chieftain of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, Peter Obi, has alleged that the Federal Government is working to prevent him from participating in the 2027 presidential election.
Obi made the allegation while calling for a transparent and credible electoral process.
Addressing a group of Nigerians in a video, Obi spoke about his political journey, reflecting on past challenges.
He noted that he has endured political isolation and legal battles.
“I have been in this very difficult business where people abandoned you completely for one election. I spent three years in court and no one followed me there.
“I have been impeached, returned to my village where no one wanted to see me, and removed from office twice,” he said.
He added that such experiences have prepared him for future challenges.
“So there is nothing I will not see again. All these things being said about me are not new,” he stated.
Obi further claimed that there are efforts by the Federal Government to stop his presidential ambition in 2027.
“The Federal Government of Nigeria does not want me to contest in the 2027 presidential election. We are not asking for much. They already have the governors and ministers; we are only asking for a free and fair election,” he said.
He also suggested that those in power have greater access to influential networks.
They have all the contacts. They know the queen and the king, while we do not. They have everything,” he added.
The Senegalese Football Federation has rejected the decision of the Confederation of African Football Appeal Board awarding the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations title to Morocco and confirmed it will challenge the ruling at the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
Morocco were on Tuesday crowned champions of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations after the Confederation of African Football Appeal Board overturned the result of the final against Senegal, ruling that the West African side forfeited the match following a walk-off during the game in Rabat on January 19.
CAF stated that “the Senegal national team is declared to have forfeited the final match of the TotalEnergies CAF Africa Cup of Nations Morocco 2025, with the result recorded as 3–0 in favour of the Fédération Royale Marocaine de Football.”
The decision followed a protest by Morocco after chaotic scenes late in the final, when Senegal players briefly left the pitch after a disallowed goal and a penalty awarded to the hosts, an action the appeal board ruled fell under Articles 82 and 84 of the competition regulations on misconduct and forfeiture.
In a statement issued on Wednesday, the Fédération Sénégalaise de Football said it had taken note of the decision delivered by CAF’s Appeal Committee in case DC23316, which followed a complaint filed during match 52 of the TotalEnergies AFCON Morocco 2025 final between Senegal and Morocco.
“The Senegalese Football Federation has today taken note of the notification of the decision rendered on March 17, 2026 by the Appeals Committee of the Confederation of African Football, in the context of case DC23316,” the statement read.
The federation said the appeal board declared admissible the protest lodged by the Fédération Royale Marocaine de Football and overturned the earlier decision of the CAF Disciplinary Board, citing a procedural flaw in the initial hearing.
“With this decision, the CAF Appeals Board declared the appeal of the Royal Moroccan Football Federation admissible and accepted it.
In doing so, the board overturned the decision rendered by the CAF Disciplinary Board, on the grounds that the appellant’s right to be heard had not been respected during the initial proceedings,” the FSF said.
According to the statement, the appeal committee ruled that the conduct of the Senegal national team fell under Articles 82 and 84 of the Africa Cup of Nations regulations, leading to the forfeiture decision.
“The Appeals Committee also determined that the conduct of the Senegalese team fell under Articles 82 and 84 of the Africa Cup of Nations Regulations.
“Consequently, CAF declared that the FSF had violated Article 82 and awarded the match by forfeit, with a recorded score of 3–0 in favor of the FRMF, in accordance with Article 84,” the federation stated.
Reacting to the verdict, the Senegalese federation criticised the decision, describing it as damaging to the credibility of African football.
“The Senegalese Football Federation denounces an unfair, unprecedented and unacceptable decision that discredits African football,” the statement added.
The federation confirmed that it would file an appeal before the Court of Arbitration for Sport in Lausanne, Switzerland.
“To defend its rights and the interests of Senegalese football, the Federation will initiate, as soon as possible, an appeal procedure before the Court of Arbitration for Sport,” the statement said.
The FSF added that it remained committed to due process and would continue to inform the public as the case progresses.
“The FSF reaffirms its unwavering commitment to the values of integrity and sporting justice, and will keep the public informed of the follow-up to this matter,” the statement concluded.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has delivered a defiant response to calls for a ceasefire, signaling that Tehran is not yet ready to return to the negotiating table. By framing the current conflict as a necessary means to “teach a lesson,” the Iranian leadership is emphasizing a doctrine of overwhelming deterrence intended to permanently discourage future foreign military interventions.
This bold stance comes amid intensifying long-range exchanges and a tightening naval blockade in the Persian Gulf, where both sides have significantly raised the stakes. Araghchi’s rhetoric suggests that from Tehran’s perspective, a premature ceasefire would be viewed as a sign of weakness, whereas a prolonged resistance is seen as vital for national pride and long-term security.
Military analysts observe that this “lesson” likely refers to Iran’s ability to disrupt global energy markets and strike strategic targets deep within allied territories. The Foreign Minister’s words are designed to project a position of strength to both a domestic audience and regional adversaries who are weighing their own involvement in the standoff.
Historically, Iranian diplomacy has often balanced hardline rhetoric with back-channel negotiations, but the current tone reflects a complete breakdown in formal communication with the White House. The focus on “teaching a lesson” underscores a shift toward a more kinetic form of diplomacy, where military outcomes are expected to dictate future political boundaries.
As the international community expresses growing alarm over the lack of a diplomatic exit ramp, the focus remains on whether this hardened stance will lead to a full-scale regional confrontation. The refusal to seek a ceasefire suggests that Tehran is prepared for a sustained conflict, banking on its asymmetric capabilities to weather the storm.
A Nigerian man living in China has shared a picture showing what happened while he was on a bus with two passengers.

Trump said Khamenei’s son is “unacceptable to me.” Iran’s parliament speaker responded: our fate will not be decided by “Epstein’s gang.”
Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister Saeed Khatibzadeh mocked Trump’s demand to be involved in choosing Iran’s next leader, telling the Raisina Dialogue in New Delhi: “President Trump is asking for a leadership change in Iran, while he can’t even appoint the mayor of New York. Can you imagine this colonial approach?” He called the U.S.-Israeli campaign an “existential war.”
The remarks came after Trump told TIME he must be involved in selecting a new supreme leader following the assassination of Ayatollah Khamenei. “Khamenei’s son is unacceptable to me,” Trump said. Iran’s parliament speaker Ghalibaf responded on X that Iran’s fate “will be determined solely by the proud Iranian nation, not by Epstein’s gang.”
Khatibzadeh also said Iran has not closed the Strait of Hormuz, describing Tehran as “an anchor of stability.” Trump has demanded Iran’s “unconditional surrender.” Iran’s president rejected the demand, saying: “They will take their dream to the grave.”
