Asisat Oshoala Slams CAF Over Controversial AFCON 2025 Title Award to Morocco
Super Falcons striker Asisat Oshoala has voiced strong criticism of the Confederation of African Football (CAF) following its controversial decision to award the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) title to Morocco.
In a surprising move, CAF announced on Tuesday night—amid ongoing UEFA Champions League fixtures—that its Appeal Board had granted Morocco a 3-0 victory in the final, effectively crowning the Atlas Lions as AFCON 2025 champions. The ruling also meant that Senegal were stripped of the title they had originally won on the pitch.
The decision has sparked widespread debate across the football world, with fans, analysts, and players questioning the circumstances behind the ruling. Oshoala did not hold back in her reaction, taking to her official X (formerly Twitter) account to express her disagreement.
“In CAF book, not in our book!” she wrote
