Guinea Demands 1976 AFCON Trophy After CAF Strips Senegal of 2025 Title
“Give Us Back Our 1976 AFCON Trophy” – Guinea Demands CAF Review
The Guinea Football Federation has called on CAF to review the 1976 Africa Cup of Nations, arguing the title should be awarded to Guinea following Morocco’s walkout during the decisive match.
In 1976, Guinea led Morocco 1-0 through Chérif Souleymane, but Moroccan players briefly left the pitch in protest of a refereeing decision. They returned, and Ahmed Makrouh equalized in the 86th minute, leaving Morocco top of the group and Guinea second.
Guinea says the recent stripping of Senegal’s 2025 AFCON title in favor of Morocco sets a precedent. The federation insists similar rules should apply to historical cases, demanding: “Give us back our 1976 AFCON trophy.”
