Edouard Mendy insists Senegal ‘Did Not Abandon’ AFCON Final

Senegal goalkeeper Edouard Mendy stated that the team did not abandon the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations final, despite reports suggesting otherwise. He claimed that some players remained on the pitch when the match was interrupted, contradicting football regulations that require a minimum of seven players to stay on the field. The Confederation of African Football awarded the title to Morocco due to this breach of rules, and the case is now with the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
