Google Confirms Morocco as AFCON 2025 Champions

Google has officially updated the result of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations final, recognizing Morocco as the champions after a disciplinary ruling by the Confederation of African Football (CAF). The match, which initially appeared to end with Senegal winning 1-0 due to a late goal by Pape Gueye in the 94th minute, was marred by controversy.

Senegal's players briefly walked off the pitch in protest of a late penalty awarded to Morocco. Following a review by CAF's appeal board, it was determined that Senegal breached competition regulations, leading to the match being awarded to Morocco with a 3-0 forfeiture victory.

This ruling reflects Morocco's second continental title, their first being in 1976. The decision continues to spark debate within the football community regarding the handling of the final.
