Forbes Commends Morocco’s World-Class AFCON Hosting, Recalls Dramatic Senegal Walk-Off

Forbes Africa praised Morocco for its world-class hosting of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) while recalling the dramatic walk-off by the Senegalese team. In the final on January 18, Senegal won against Morocco with a stoppage-time goal after the Senegalese players left the pitch. The Royal Moroccan Football Federation appealed the decision, leading to initial sanctions from CAF against both teams, which were seen as biased.
