African football governance faces intense scrutiny following CAF’s bombshell decision to award the 2026 African Cup of Nations title to Morocco. The confederation flipped the January final’s 1-0 Senegal win to a 3-0 Morocco victory, citing a rule breach during the heated Rabat clash.

Referee Jean-Jacques Ndala nullified Senegal’s goal for a foul inside Morocco’s penalty area. Then, Brahim Diaz was fouled, earning Morocco a spot-kick. Furious, Senegal’s coach Pep Bouba…
