It is tragic that @CAF_Online never learns from its past mistakes.
When Papa Bakary Gassama, the Gambian referee, rightly declared @ESTunis1919 the winner of the 2019 #CAFCL 🏆, after @WACofficiel abandoned the game in Tunis, @AAhmad_CAF and his exco illegally overturned Gassama’s decision and ordered a replay.
It took a strong judicial rebuke from CAS for CAF to obey its tournament rules and the laws of the game, which handed Esperance the trophy.
Seven years later, CAF has forgotten this lesson and returned to its governance vomit. 🤦🏾♂️
Yes, Referee Jean-Jacques Ngambo Ndala (pictured) did not manage the 2025 #AFCON final properly. Yes, he should have declared the final in Rabat abandoned. Yes, #Morocco should have been declared the winner.
But he didn’t. He allowed the game to continue. And once he did that, Rule 5.2 of the Laws of the Game is supreme - “The decisions of the referee regarding FACTS connected with play, including whether or not a goal is scored AND THE RESULT OF THE MATCH, ARE FINAL.”
The CAF Appeals Board decision, awarding the trophy to #Morocco, is a disgrace and has only set up CAF for a repeat of the humiliation it suffered in Lausanne in 2019.
CAS will certainly rule that #Senegal remain champions. This is guaranteed to happen.
It is a shame that African football is being brought to ridicule once again.
Billionaire Mo Ibrahim criticizes “inappropriate and unacceptable” Tanzanian election as President Samia Suluhu Hassan is sworn in.
He calls out autocratic traits that many African leaders would never admit to publicly
