CAF acted like this matter is a teenage relationship. No maturity at all.

Funny people, no other way than to give up the cup they won very square

The truth of the matter is that the decision was the correct one but was delayed.
This decision should have happened immediately Senegalese players left the pitch, but not making the decision then. They shouldn't have made the decision now, they should have allowed it stand.
The ref should have consulted the match commissioner and declare a walkover. Doing so after many months by CAF is bad decision

When the umpire does not get it right the image of the game suffers. Senegal has gone to court... grin

The black man just cannot evolve prosperous and viable societies.

Africa is like this, largely dark, poverty stricken and under developed for a reason. It is we, by ourselves, on ourselves. No whites to blame. Na we no dey organised, no dey respectful, no dey rule bound, no get horizontal relationships at all.

Whatever we suffered in the hands of colonists, it is clear that an ignorant, divided and weak continent were just like an open infestation, just waiting to be rotted out.

We need to change as a people.

CAF trying to compensate morrocco for record financial profits for the last Afcon.

Pure politics.

CAF is a cesspool of corruption it is high time western African nations organized their own tournament and forget about African Cup of Nations.

If this is not managed very well the Afcon tournament will die.


The northern African Nation want to have a grip over CAF (using money) and doing all it take to do so. Soon we will start witnessing boycott of the tournament.


A cup final won on the pitch, is been overturned in the boardroom. this is very interesting

You can only overrule the ref if an ineligible player is fielded
As in I don't understand.

I vote the Western bloc boycotts the next AFCON if this sham stands. Let's see AFCON without the West African flags.

Oh if you don't know football just park. It is the job of the ref to determine forfeiture. Weren't CAF officials there at the final. They were in a position to advise the ref there and then. Haba!
Re: AFCON Drama: Senegal Rejects CAF Verdict, Moves To Appeal by Bimpe29(m): 7:59am On Mar 18
Better for them! CAF must be subjective and silly to have striped them off the title. If this stands, it's really going to be a bad precedent for the African football.

We are used to this in Africa where someone will lose an election, in fact, he will be 3rd on the polls but will be declared the winner.
Africa needs to wake up.

Forfeiture of a match is not a referee's decision to make, rather its a federation matter. That's part of the communique that was issued and it is part of the rules.

Go and update yourself

It's just like NFA of the 90s that used to dish out points in the boardroom to teams in our local league.

What was the essence of the monetary punishment handed down earlier? Was it not because of the match? Why punish twice on the same offence?

CAF better respect themselves . So they didn't see all the trash Morocco did throughout the tournament
Article 82 and 84 clearly states that the match should have been awarded to Morocco....Senegal left for more than 10mins ...Caf officials opposed the ref from making the decision of ending the game and awarding Morocco the game ...
Re: AFCON Drama: Senegal Rejects CAF Verdict, Moves To Appeal by Bahamas95(m): 8:16am On Mar 18
West Africans should come together and leave this useless AFCON for North Africans and CAF.


CAF's àssssslicking is so annoying.

But it was Morocco fault that Senegal walked off the pitch and destabilized the game flow. The law is the law. If you abandon a game, you forfeit it.

Not an African thing.

Didn't FIFA ban Russia for the same crimes Israel and the US have been committing?

The rot is global

As long as the ref didn't blow final whistle on that day, outside the field decision can't give the trophy to Morrocco.

If morrocco was so good, why didn't they score their dubious PK?

Why didn't they win via extra time?

Money rules the world now and this decision is a perfect example of international corruption

That South African CAF president is a pure weakling smelling of inferiority complex
