It was jubilation in Morocco but anger in Senegal after the Africa Cup of Nations title was reassigned. Two months after the contentious final in Rabat, Morocco was declared the winner late Tuesday. Moroccans took to the streets, celebrating with flags, flares, and car parades. A Moroccan journalist described it as a 'sleepless night' of excitement. Fans expressed relief and joy, calling it justice for perceived violations during the original match.
In Senegal, reactions were starkly different. Citizens described the decision as a devastating blow to their football pride. Calls emerged for an independent investigation into alleged corruption within Caf's governing bodies. A Senegalese newspaper labeled the event 'an unprecedented scandal.'
