CAF Executive Apologizes to Morocco for AFCON Final InjusticeFebruary 18, 2026 6:07 PM Full SummarySamir Sobha, president of the Mauritius Football Association and CAF Executive Committee member, told The Guardian that Senegal's players should have received yellow cards for leaving the field during a crucial VAR penalty, halting play for 15 minutes.

Sobha stressed the result stands but called for accountability, while also criticizing CAF's general secretary for an illegal term extension. Sanctions followed, including bans for coaches and captains plus hefty fines, though Morocco rejected theirs. Key TakeawayIn a candid interview, a top CAF official admitted Morocco's national team was robbed in the Africa Cup of Nations final, pleading for forgiveness over broken rules.

Placards highlighted broken promises of GH¢6,000 or GH¢7,000, while COCOBOD assured ongoing payments of over GH¢1.09 billion in arrears. The Ghana Catholic Bishops' Conference demanded using surpluses to protect farmers, as government leaders cited massive debt and market woes, and opposition accused betrayal of election pledges amid cocoa's role in 30% of export earnings. Key TakeawayElderly farmers, including an 84-year-old, traveled over 11 hours to COCOBOD headquarters, vowing to camp out until they meet the CEO over slashed earnings. Context & EntitiesTopics
