African Football Discussion Thread Current Topic: 👉 AFCON 2025/2026

[Nightwatchmare]

CAF knows that they cannot do it because the act will become something they intentionally want to make the name of Senegal not to be mention in the world sports and that would be twice important thing they would be making Senegal to loss, taking the trophy and disqualifying them from what they have suffered to achieved. Perhaps this will not be more than speculation we have made it but wouldn't be what they would do to Senegal if they weren't able to get the cup from them. Super eagles is not even a good replacement for Senegal in the world Cup if the Senegal could perform as the AFCON.

CAF president is mean, and if he has the power to make Senegal forfeit their place in the world cup he will gladly do it and he will not bother himself with what people will think or say about his action towards Senegal, but i like the way FIFA president is not involving himself with the saga going on with CAF, Morocco, and Senegal, if not it would have been easy for CAF to make Senegal forfeit their place in the world cup, and i like the way Senegal is not ready to succumb to CAF's decision. Senegal is not forfeiting their place in the world cup, so you should not project the super eagles as a replacement for Senegal in the world cup.

I know there are so many Nigerians here who would be happy with that Outcome, because Nigeria a disgraceful country wouldn’t also be at the World Cup, because I’m completely sure that FIFA would have to come into play here, before Senegal would completely destroy African Football.

I understand that you’re very passionate about the Morocco - Senegal subject but what does Nigeria have to do with it. We didn’t make it to the AFCON final neither did we qualify for the World Cup and we have made our peace with it so what’s your problem?

Most people are judging based on passion and not on the facts presented by CAF for the decision. We have to put passion aside and look at what the rules of football say. Did the Senegalese players leave the field during the game against Morocco? If they did leave the field, what do the rules of football say? That's what we need to ask ourselves.

Regarding Senegal's qualification, they qualified cleanly and there were no complaints from any country. So let's take that out of the discussion, because it's meaningless. I honestly don't understand why some people disregard the facts to create nonsensical theories that CAF is persecuting Senegal.

Of course he could have done worse to this innocent country, he is lucky that all of his members who elected him is on his side because if there were some members who are also on a high position was not on his side definitely they would have impeached him before now because with how ethical there duties are the president is likely to have breaking a lot of there ethical rules but since he doesn't have anybody against him there wouldn't be any negative actions from his members and definitely he would be acting without fear of the consequences of his actions. Somebody who has the idea of his visit to Senegal should tell us if he was able to compelled them to his desire.

Of course the FIFA President has integrity and wouldn't want to get himself involved in this show of shame the CAF President has involved himself.CAF knows they have no Powers to make such call for Senegal not attend the World Cup tournament. I really like the stance the the Senegal side are taking, not to relinquish the Cup to anybody. If you must win a Cup, it must be done within the field of play, and not through the backyard door. If I was Morocco, I would even have been ashamed to drag on further on these.

This jostern of a guy is just a bitter retarded fellow, looking for who to transfer his frustration on, because his statement all this while shows that he has so many things eating him up that he doesn't have the guts to spit out, because he is not man enough to do so.

No right thinking person that is truly a football lover that will support the actions of caf, because football trophies are not won in court, as caf are trying to do, so I am confident in Senegal because they will not listen to the rubbish caf president Patrick motsepe have to say in his tour to Senegal.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinions. My opinion on the subject is well known, I agree Senegal were wrong to walk off the pitch but the referee didn’t call off the match then and there as the rule states. Morocco and Senegal went on to play th game full time and one side was the victor. It is a tragedy that CAF withdrew the title from Senegal.

I don't know about being bitter and sour but one thing am sure is that there is no way a football which has been decided over a space of 3 months will now later on be over ruled in court just because they later changed their verdict on the final decision of who won the game of which is something they are supposed to do immediately when the game was on and not when the whole and even himself the CAF president has given the trophy to the winners after normal football play time.

Even though I didn't agree with Jostern for showing support to CAF and Morocco, it's very wrong for you to refer him as a retarded fellow, because I know people will have different opinion in what CAF and Morocco are trying to achieve, so we should mind the choices of word we use when we are deliberating on the matter so that we won't hurt someone unknowingly, and nothing is eating Jostern up because he's not a Moroccan so there's nothing for him to spit out. I just see Jostern as someone who want Senegal to obeys CAF's decision or ruling since they walked out of the field when the African Cup of Nations final was still on. But he forgot that since the referee and CAF allowed the final to continue when they could have used the opportunity and declared Morocco the winner of 2025/2026 African Cup of Nations they can't do that  now.

The decision that caf might be making is not something that is suitable for everyone because every saw who won on the football pitch and another thing is been decided in the court is just not something that feel will seat up with everyone and they still went ahead to do it but it is very annoying because what exactly do they want they want is just to give morrocco the chance and they are doing everything just to retrieve that trophy, and if that is how they want to do there things then it will only get harder because what do you want to do, and am disappointed in CAF because I expected something better from there judgment.

[Lida93]

This is a good development in the African Football domain, What the African Football Federation President is doing by visiting the disgraceful Senegalese Football Federation, is the right thing to do, he has to once again tell them to obey the law and return the Trophy which is absolutely the right thing for them to do, else they will have to face heavy sanctions, and they will have no choice but to forfeit their rights to participate in the FIFA World Cup if they eventually refuses to return the Trophy, I think Nigeria would be very happy to take their place, I know there are so many Nigerians here who would be happy with that Outcome, because Nigeria a disgraceful country wouldn’t also be at the World Cup, because I’m completely sure that FIFA would have to come into play here, before Senegal would completely destroy African Football.

I don't blame Senegal for what they are doing for not allow law to have her way, because they know anything can happen in Africa to make them lose the trophy they have already won. I know Senegal government will advise his players to release the trophy to see what FIFA officials will conclude about the matter, because something like this may happen in the future and this will be an evidence that will make any club to claim their right immediately.

This is Africa, I don't think FIFA president will rule this case for the favour of Senegal club, because the host are eager to win the trophy by all means. We all know what the host did to super eagle of Nigeria club just to make sure they qualify and they succeeded through the referee.

It's unfortunate that Morocco for just because they hosted the AFCON are so desperate to take (not win) the trophy through the back door never minding the shame and ridicule this whole situation is turning on African football. I wonder how the world would be looking at us now and how seriously Amy reasonable football lover would want to take the AFCON tournament as anything with integrity with what CAF and Morocco football governing body together are doing. They wouldn't dare this nonsense to Nigeria and they just should thank their stars it wasn't Nigeria like Senegal that legitimately won this particular AFCON tournament.

I also don't support calling people names because of their views. We see and reason in different ways which would lead to divergent views. However, this member should always be mindful of what he says. He called the Senegalese football federation disgraceful. And he didn't end there, he also tagged Nigeria a disgrace. What CAF did was wrong and is killing the reputation of African football. And someone is supporting the wrong and even insulting our dear nation. We might be disappointed with our leaders. But Nigeria is a great nation with good people.

I really don't know what to say because anyone who feels what CAF did isn't wrong then I really don't know what to say or think about such person. Since my life on Earth where I came to witness the game of football, I have never for once seen a team win a tournament openly and then some months later the same head of the organization that handed over the trophy for the team that won it openly for the entire world to see come openly again to say that the team has been nullified of their winning of the trophy, it's just absolutely madness for me.

Maybe he just can not get it out of his head that the Super Eagles are now in a better form than they were in the past. Believe me, he just might come from any of these countries we trashed lately, so do not be surprised seeing him vent his frustration against Nigeria.

CAF and Morocco has turned African football into a joke, and I think they aren't bothered how the world would see African Cup as long as they achieve their aim of stripping Senegal off their trophy. But I like as Senegal aren't ready to relinquish their trophy to Morocco. CAF president is corrupt, so even though it was Nigeria that was in the place of Senegal now, CAF will still order Nigeria to return the African Cup of Nations to Morocco.

You are talking about football here, and how we might have trash his country, but who knows that the reason he might be angry at Nigerians and the country at large is because a Nigerian guy my have taken or f**** k his girlfriend, or it might be that he has not cum for a very long time now, since lack of sex always makes someone get angry and bittered 😂😂
He should just get a girl that will relieve him from the fire burning inside of him, because lack of sex or a Nigerian took his girlfriend might be the main reason he is angry at us.

[Jostern]

Well the problem between Morocco and Senegal isn’t going away anytime soon, I think this problems would be carried out to the Football Governing Body (FIFA) and some investigations have to be done properly on this matter of players that was selected as U-15, this players that represented Senegal aren’t U-15 years of age, I don’t just understand why Senegal have to always drag the name of African Football to the mud, I’m calling on investigations to be carried out, so that the appropriate punishment would be dished out to them, most of this players selected have 2-3 children at 15 years how is that even possible.

Somedays ago, I was listening to a Brazilian player talk about African Countries selecting over aged players for Under age competition, more like what Morocco is talking about Senegal right now, he literally said that the players he played against when he faced Ghana already has 3 kids when he was having a personal conversation with them, how do you have 3 kids as a 15 years old, it’s alarming what African football have been made a mess by this Senegalese, Senegalese are a disgrace to African Football.

Everytime Senegal, Senegal is always in the top of terrible news headlines in Africa Football, does that not ask a question about their integrity.

[Ochan_yazo_tochant]

[……]

You’re right that this creates a stigma.Even when African talent is genuine, these controversies lead the world to doubt every victory. Protecting the U-15 brand is essential for the scouts and clubs that invest in the continent's future.
Ultimately, the goal of any investigation should be to ensure that a 15-year-old from Morocco or any other nation is competing against a peer of the same physical and developmental age.
In your opinion, should the responsibility of age verification fall solely on the local Federations, or should FIFA take over the entire documentation process from birth?

Forget about all these allegations coming from Morocco the fact remains that, Morocco are bad loser. Currently speaking it's very difficult to manipulate your age with the current technology of MRIS scan which is compulsory for everyone under age event in sports especially in football and Athletics. Before any player is cleared to participate in any major events like this they will under go the scan which is looking at the age of the bone of the player involved and the scan can detect how long the bone has stayed. Gone are those days when players can manipulate their age. Morocco is just looking for a way of escape from the Afcon which they believe from the beginning of the tournament that they were going to win , but was very disappointed that they couldn't win. I will not takes this news seriously as someone who has been into sports for a long time because, it makes no sense to me that a country FA can manipulate the age of their players with the current technology in place by both FIFA, CAF and even in the country FA levels.

How will they be concern about how the other part of the world will feel about their joke that was triggered by allegedly exchange of bags of funds, have we now seen why African football is not taken serious by the civilized nations, how will a title given to the original winners be reversed to be handed over to those that want to have it by every means available irrespective of what it takes, and tomorrow you ask people to watch African football where ever they are, will that be possible, CAF president should be investigated if he's been found guilty should face the law, he's a disgrace to African nation.
