"I think that sets African football back 100 years." Colin Udoh on CAF's decision to strip Senegal of their AFCON title.

@ESPNFC Cry more We are the Champions 😇

@ESPNFC @L_e_s_n_o_n Dark day for African football all because of this one man and his leadership. I'm embarrassed honestly. @grok what's you take. 🤔

@ESPNFC Colin Udoh is right. This decision sets a dangerous precedent and honestly makes the CAF look disorganized. You can't just take back a trophy months later without destroying the fans' trust in the system.

@ESPNFC I don't see how the African football can recover from this disgrace. I won't be surprised if European clubs are starting to make a case to FIFA about not sending their African players to play Anything that has to do with CAF.

@ESPNFC So senegal is above the law. They can leave the pitch and comeback 17 minutes later with no consequences. Next time, they can take some rest when they feel suitable. Guys are you crazy? Where are your brains? Do you like the jungle rules?

@ESPNFC @grok why?

@ESPNFC The story of how Morocco rose to glory and lifted the AFCON trophy

@ESPNFC @CAF_Online Morocco 🇲🇦 is CAF champion while Senegal 🇸🇳 is African champion 🏆

@ESPNFC When it got to ste@ling AFCON, Morocco remembered that they are Africans.

@ESPNFC Enough tears for Senegalese supporters today

@ESPNFC Siiiuuuuuu

@ESPNFC So if we apply the law in Africa it's abnormal, we just need to let the cheater team to keep the cup where the players has decided to go off the pitch without referee approval, in this case whenever a team doesn't approve a refere decision they should get out and they will win it

@ESPNFC African mentality 🤷

“I think that sets African football back 100 years.” Colin Udoh’s take hits hard. Stripping Senegal of their AFCON title isn’t just about one team it shakes trust in the system, the fans, and the integrity of the game across the continent. A tough pill for African football to swallow. 😔⚽

@ESPNFC When will CAF learn that taking away trophies doesn’t solve problems—it only kills trust in African football. Senegal deserved better! 💔 #AFCON2023 #AfricanFootbal

@ESPNFC So we just erase history now? Senegal earned that title on the pitch, not in a boardroom. CAF, what are you even doing? 😤⚽ #AfricanFootball #Unbelievable”

@ESPNFC CAF: MORROCO are the 2025 AFCON winners.. Rest of the world:

@ESPNFC He's saying the obvious truth. We're so behind in the way we run our things. They always try to add politics forgetting that the outside world is watching. Shame on them actually

@ESPNFC And those at CAF don’t care all they care about is the money they will get… imagine we out here comparing African cup to the European cup CAF really did us dirty

@ESPNFC We're with Senegal

Colin Udoh's reaction to CAF's decision to strip Senegal of their AFCON title is quite strong. The decision has sparked widespread outrage, with many feeling it undermines the integrity of African football. Senegal had won the final 1-0 against Morocco, but CAF ruled that their walk-off protest against a late penalty award constituted a forfeit, awarding Morocco a 3-0 win. The Senegalese Football Federation is appealing the decision to the Court of Arbitration for Sport, calling it "unfair, unprecedented, and unacceptable". Many players, including Sadio Mane, have expressed their disappointment and frustration on social media, with some labeling the decision as "disgraceful".

@ESPNFC Its a big embarrassment for African football. World over the referee's on-pitch decision is final. CAF would have taken other measures other than stripping Senegal of thier victory

@ESPNFC The truth is clear CAF’s decision isn’t about fairness, it’s about Morocco controlling the hosting facilities African football suffers again

@ESPNFC If you leave the pitch you are considered eliminated from the competition, it’s not that deep. Unlike the gap between his teeth

@ESPNFC Some South Africans want him to be our president 🤣🤣🤣🤣

@ESPNFC Lol, they left the pitch, not the ground. Was the game allowed to continue when they were off the pitch but in the ground? Do we play in the ground or pitch? The walk off was a protest, unfortunately it didn't work for them, so, article kicks in, there're rules of playing ...

@ESPNFC Lol, COLIN WHO ?

@ESPNFC You cannot overturn a result won on the grass months after the trophy was lifted. 🇸🇳 This sets a dangerous precedent where matches are decided in boardrooms instead of stadiums. Africa deserves better than this.

@ESPNFC You’re basically saying that any african team should abandon a match whenever a decision doesn’t go their way is that really the standard you want? Football relies on respecting rules, even when decisions feel unfair. and this is how we gonna develop our african football

@ESPNFC IT'S SHAMEFUL 💔💔 THAT AFRICA HAS CONTINUE TO BE A SLAVE 😭😭😭

@ESPNFC Should we change the rules and let teams leave the pitch so we can move forward a hundred years? Haha 🤣 🤣 what nonsense is this.

@ESPNFC It's really a real sign to show how African football ain't progressing but then being demoted

@ESPNFC CAF robbing Senegal months later? Pure clownery that proves Udoh right. African football just got dragged back to the Stone Age.

@ESPNFC It's a dismissal decision from all angles. Who ever advice them to take such actions. Clearly wants to reduce the effect of African football.
