CAF's Appeal Board ruled on March 17 that Senegal forfeited the January 18, 2025 AFCON final against hosts Morocco, citing team misconduct after players briefly left the pitch protesting a late VAR penalty.

Senegal called the decision unfair and plans a Court of Arbitration for Sport appeal, drawing comparisons to 2019 when CAS upheld a similar forfeit against Morocco's Wydad Casablanca over a walk-off protest.
