Senegal is planning to appeal the decision by the Confederation of African Football (CAF) to strip them of their Africa Cup of Nations title. The CAF ruled that Senegal forfeited the final against Morocco in January after walking off the field to protest a penalty. The decision turned Senegal’s 1-0 win into a 3-0 victory for Morocco, making them the tournament’s winners. Senegal’s government and Football Federation have criticized the ruling as unfair and unacceptable, pledging to challenge it through legal avenues.
