The AFCON 2025 final, held in Rabat on Sunday, January 18, ended with Senegal defeating Morocco 1-0. The match was overshadowed by violent incidents involving Senegalese supporters in the stands.
Supporters damaged barriers, threw chairs, and attempted to enter the pitch. Several stewards and photographers were injured. One steward was taken on a stretcher to the hospital with severe jaw injuries, according to journalist Hanif Ben Berkane (Foot Mercato).
Law enforcement intervened to restore order. While Senegal won the title, these incidents tarnish the conclusion of a tournament praised for its organization and scale.
