More than two months after the AFCON 2025 final, the controversy between Senegal and Morocco continues to dominate headlines. Spanish outlet AS has released new information that sheds fresh light on the events surrounding the highly disputed clash.
According to a source close to the Confederation of African Football, Senegal’s conduct before and during the final is now under scrutiny. These revelations could challenge the narrative previously put forward by the Teranga Lions.
Reports suggest that Senegal may have deliberately ignored logistical recommendations from organizers. The choice of travel route to the stadium, despite warnings about crowd control in Rabat, has raised questions. Some interpret this as a strategic move to shape public opinion.
Accommodation issues also played a key role in the tensions. Senegal’s football federation had criticized their stay at the Mohammed VI Complex, citing concerns over possible surveillance. However, the source dismissed these claims, highlighting the scale and facilities of the complex.
Notably, Cameroon had previously stayed at the same venue without raising any concerns, even praising the conditions.
On the pitch, the match descended into chaos in the closing minutes following a highly controversial penalty decision. Reports indicate that several Senegalese players briefly left the field, further escalating the situation.
Despite Senegal’s victory, the matter remains unresolved. With Morocco continuing to challenge aspects of the final and CAF still reviewing the events, the case has evolved into both a legal and media battle.
