Full List Of AFCON Winners Since 1957 by treesun(op): 6:40am On Jan 19

Senegal on Sunday clinched the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) title after a tense 1–0 extra-time victory over host nation Morocco at the Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium.

The final was marked by controversy late in regulation time after the Democratic Republic of Congo referee, Jean Jacques Ndala Ngambo, awarded Morocco a penalty in the eighth minute of added time following a VAR review. Senegal defender El Hadji Malick Diouf was adjudged to have fouled Brahim Diaz during a corner kick.

Furious over the decision, Senegal players briefly walked off the pitch on the instruction of head coach Pape Thiaw, leading to a 13-minute standoff. Captain Sadio Mané eventually persuaded his teammates to return to the field.

Morocco failed to capitalise on the opportunity as Brahim Diaz missed the penalty, allowing Senegal to push the match into extra time.

The breakthrough came in the fourth minute of extra time when Pape Gueye fired home a stunning strike following a swift counterattack initiated by Mané. Senegal then held firm to silence the home crowd and secure the trophy.

The victory marks Senegal’s second AFCON title in three tournaments, further cementing their status as one of Africa’s dominant football forces.

1. Cameroon won their first AFCON by defeating Nigeria in 1984. Then known as Cup of Nations. They have gone to defeat Nigeria in 2 other Editions to retire the old Trophy (Maroc '88 and Nigeria-Ghana Combo 2,000) the First time Two Nations will Co-Host.

2. Algeria won their First AFCON (Then Cup of Nations) in Algeria '90 by defeating Nigeria in the Finals 1-0 after an opening day drubbing of 5-1.

3. Cote D'ivorie also defeated Nigeria at the last Edition to win their 3rd Star having got their first at Senegal '92 and the second during the 2015 Edition.

Do you know Nwankwo Kanu never got a winners medal at AFCON despite his illustrious career?

That is why morrocco were very desperate to win it.. involving tricks and negative strategies in their football to win the afcon.. taking the towels of opposition goal keepers, seeking for referee and CAF favour...but their negative plans did not work out

The most exciting final match of AFCON remains Senegal’92 - Ghana vs Ivory Coast
