The final of the #AFCON2025 was a spectacle in a different way. I would like to discuss all the components of that final day and get your comments. Who were the big winners? Did #Senegal get away with one? Does the #Morocco football federation have grounds to be aggrieved?

[Tunde Adelakun @CoachTundeTalks]

We declare Thursday 15 May a Special @taiwoawoniyi18 Day - a day we want every one to take 2 minutes of our time to remember Taiwo in our thoughts, in our prayers at this challenging time. He’s a fighter, but needs an army of fellow fighters to overcome this. Let’s do it together
