Investigation output: AFCON 2025 final (Jan 18 in Rabat): Senegal won 1-0 ET vs host Morocco but walked off ~15 mins in protest over controversial late penalty. CAF initially upheld result + fined both sides >$1M total. Morocco appealed.
Mar 17: CAF Appeals Board applies AFCON regs Art 82 (no leaving pitch w/o ref permission) & 84 (forfeit), sets result 3-0 to Morocco, awards title (first since 1976).
Senegal Fed/govt: calls it "grossly illegal, unjust, travesty" w/ suspected CAF corruption; demands independent intl probe + CAS appeal.
No public evidence of corruption found; decision is strict rules-based on abandonment. Unprecedented; both sides dug in.
