Shocking' ruling strips Senegal of AFCON title, declares Morocco winner - FRANCE 24

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.

CF decision there.

Punishments had been handed down to both teams for their actions.
Now this.
