'Shocking' ruling strips Senegal of AFCON title, declares Morocco winner




Morocco was stunningly awarded the Africa Cup of Nations title on Tuesday by appeals judges who overturned Senegal’s victory in a chaotic final in January. The Confederation of African Football said its appeals board ruled that Senegal is “declared to have forfeited the final” and its 1-0 win in extra time becomes a 3-0 default win for host nation Morocco. FRANCE 24’s James Vasina and sports journalist Karim Baldé discuss the ruling.
