Ex-England captain Wayne Rooney has hit out at the Confederation of African Football, CAF, over the decision to award the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations to Morocco.
CAF’s Appeal Board has now overturned Senegal’s 1–0 victory.
They adjudged that the Teranga Lions’ walk-off in protest of a stoppage-time penalty breached Articles 82 and 84.https://urbanexpresslive.com/carabao-cup-what-paul-merson-tells-arteta-goalkeeper-to-start-arsenal-vs-man-city-final/
The match was consequently recorded as a 3–0 forfeit in favour of Morocco.
“It’s crazy. If I were a Moroccan player, I wouldn’t accept it. Senegal beat them fair and square,” Rooney said.https://urbanexpresslive.com/benfica-vs-real-madrid-you-have-taken-wrong-direction-for-justifying-racial-abuse-seedorf-on-mourinho/
“The Senegal team beat them fairly.”
Meanwhile, the Fédération Sénégalaise de Football (FSF) has confirmed plans to challenge the ruling at the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).
