The Confederation of African Football has declared Morocco the 2026 Africa Cup of Nations champions, overturning Senegal’s 1-0 victory to a 3-0 win for Morocco after Senegal forfeited the final amid chaos on January 18. The match saw Senegal protest a disputed penalty awarded to Morocco, leading to a 15-minute walk-off and subsequent on-field violence. Following the incident, Senegal faced fines and suspensions, while Morocco’s penalties were also adjusted. CAF has since reduced some fines and suspensions related to the controversial match.
