This article might sound distasteful and weird but the law is the law. There are rules governing every sport and must be adhered to regardless.
fifa court of arbitration
Moroccans are shameless idiots. I would be very much ashamed and sad if I were a Moroccan. Football tournaments are won on the green pitch, not in boardrooms. If Morocco are refusing to host the WAFCON, let's play it elsewher ...

Stupid Ruling!
I’m not a lawyer but by agreeing to continue the match, the Moroccans by conduct surrendered and forfeited their right to sue and appeal.
what the
#All West African countries boycott next Afcon. #All Sub-Sahara nations boycott next Afcon.
What kind of joke is this.?
Can this story really be true? What will be the effect of this ruling? Will justice be served by this? I shudder to think of the consequences!!
This rulling does not reflect or represent fairness and justice; in my candid opinion anytime such a thing happen where the entire team leaves or abandon the field temporarily then the much must end there and the winner decla ...

I hope this story is not true!
Very interesting but unfortunate decision. We all watched the match and know who was the better side and the better side won.Yes Senegal matched off the pitch but they came back, so why this ruling. Not fair I believe.
That does not take the Senegalese tactical superiority on the field away. Football matches are won on the field not in court rooms. The beauty and sacrifices of the game is marred by this ruling.
Really? What a joke? Is Africa really serious?
The Senegalese coach caused all this mess. How can you tell the whole national team to leave the field of play
This is bullshit....you cannot take the title from Senegal after your CAF officials called them back unto the field to continue play. The title could only slip through their hands if they had not returned to the field of play ...

Senegal should appeal to CAS.
MOROCCO YOU ARE THE CHAMPIONS WHAT ELSE DO YOU WANT. YOU CAN ONLY WIN IT WITH CORRECT PEOPLE AT THE COURT OF CAF OFFICE.
Senegai is still the Champion. Morocco is a paper champion
Senegal is still the Champion. Morocco is a paper champion
Pure nonsense
Football has lost its value.
Very bad for Africa football
motsepe. is this a joke? senegal must appeal this
FIFA President Infantino got his wish to have the Arabs wear the UNDESERVED crown. Senegal are still CHAMPIONS. FIFA and CAF are filled with corrupt officials. And CAF officials will continue to do the bidding of their he cor ...

Master, Sénégalese won the match.
Hi
Hahahahs! This stupid things are funny
A total disgrace to Morocco. Matches are won on the pitch not in the courtroom. Morocco won by 3 to 0 in the courtroom not on the pitch where they were outclassed by Senegal. The entire world knows that Senegal beat Morocco i ...

Nonsense ruling. Stupidity at its best.
Fake news
Typical nonsense
Very useless continent..
The officials should have ended the game there and then. The fact that the match was allowed to continue means the final result on the pitch must stand.
How can the Moroccan team and fans be proud of winning the cup via a ...

Since CAF allowed Senegal to resume playing the match, it makes no sense taking the cup from them.
matches are held up for more than 10 minutes what difference does it make ? bunsu’s they allow the match to continue then ? rubbish
Absolute nonsense from CAF.
Foolish decision by Idiots.
Bullshit Not all players left. Sadio was there so if that’s the case, why didn’t the referee Continue with the Match and even score 1000-0 but wait for them to come back and continue?
I am still proud of Senegal's achievement.Morocco can go to Hell.No joy in Morocco's victory
Congratulations to Morocco.
