Senegal slams ‘illegal and deeply unjust’ decision to strip Africa Cup title and pledges to appeal

Senegal isn’t giving up its Africa Cup of Nations title without a legal fight, with the country’s football federation saying it will appeal the “unfair, unprecedented, and unacceptable decision” to strip the team of its victory in a chaotic final against host Morocco. The country’s government went further as it said it will “pursue all appropriate legal avenues” to overturn the decision and called for an international investigation “into suspected corruption” within African soccer’s governing body.
