TAS: "One can criticize Morocco for wanting to win on paper", Bell sends both sides back to back

Joseph-Antoine Bell commented on the dispute between Morocco and Senegal over the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations final, ahead of the TAS decision. After CAF’s appeal jury reversed the initial victory of Senegal to declare Morocco the winner on a walkover, Bell stated that while Morocco’s complaint is valid according to the rules, Senegal also bears responsibility for leaving the field, emphasizing the importance of sportsmanship. He criticized the Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF) for allowing the match to continue and accused Moroccan officials of trying to win a trophy on paper.
