Guinea FA Denies Appeal Over Morocco's 1976 AFCON Title

The Guinean Football Federation has officially rejected reports suggesting that it filed an appeal to contest Morocco's victory in the 1976 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON). This statement was released following widespread claims that Guinea sought to have the Confederation of African Football (CAF) award them the 1976 title, citing Morocco's alleged walkout during the fixture.

The speculation gained traction after reports emerged about Senegal's appeal to strip Morocco of the 2025 AFCON title due to a related incident involving a Senegalese player. The Guinean FA's statement clarified that they did not intend to revisit the events of the 1976 tournament, which saw Guinea face Morocco on March 14, 1976, in Addis Ababa.

The match ended in a 1-1 draw, with Makrouh scoring for Guinea and Morocco securing their first AFCON title as a result.
