"A disgrace for Africa." That is what fans in Senegal are calling it. The Confederation of African Football, known as CAF, has stripped Senegal of its Africa Cup of Nations title. The trophy has been handed to Morocco, two months after the final was played in Rabat. The decision is linked to Senegal’s walkout protest during the final after the referee awarded them a penalty. Senegal’s government is now calling for an international investigation into "suspected corruption" at CAF. The country’s football federation plans to appeal, calling the ruling unfair and unprecedented. This story is still developing.
