CAF and Morocco are a complete disgrace to African football. I will advise the Senegalese to hand over the cup to the Moroccans. I bet you they won't be able to celebrate. The real victory trophy is written in the heart and minds of the African people. We know the true victors and warriors - Senegal, who defied the host and win agenda by Morocco and CAF and pulled off am outstanding and astonishing performance to actually win the trophy. The physical trophy is just a symbol. The real victory was captured on the field on that fateful night, not the one decided in the boardroom box CAF. VIVA SENEGAL!!!

Masa keep quiet, the Senegalese behaviour wss very bad and unprofessional. The decision was taken based on the law so they must return the trophy.

You are the cheats. The penalty given that made you leave the pitch was a clear penalty but because of cheating you left the pitch, fooling yourselves.

Mr or Mrs H, for your information, FIFA and DEVELOPED COUNTRIES has no hand in this UNTHINKABLE DECISION.
For your information, the issue is about CAF and Africa countries.

Should the 1973 European cup winners' cup now be given to Leeds after the Greek referee took 30 gs off of AC Milan and should the us basketball team be given the gold medal after they beat the ussr in the 1972 final

CAF should go back to their books by awarding 1976 cup to Moroccans who did the same thing by walking out of the field when Guinea was leading one goal.The Moroccans came back after fifteen minutes time and equalised to one -- one draw, when they needed a draw to take the trouphy.
Why CAF awarded the 1976 cup to Moroccans who walked out off the field but not Guineans?
If equally so,then CAF have no option, but to give the 1976 cup to Guinea before taking 2025 cup from Senegal.
It is very shameful when similar thing happened years back,CAF should have given the cup to Guinea ,was is it not Laws at that time to govern African football?.

CAF needs to just give Morocco another Trophy because it's more fault from them.

I am a moroccan and I think this goes beyond the sport. A trophy is protected by military! Morocco and caf are not looking for the physical trophy as much as making it clear that leaving the field is an automatic elimination and preventing it from happening in the future. Morocco spent way much more on stadiums and infrastructure than the value of a trophy. Unfortunately, we as African prove that we still need decades to grow up. This is a sport not a war. If I am decision maker, I'd leave the trophy to senegal after the final decision. It is not good to take a toy from a happy child.
