CAF president visits Senegal following AFCON trophy reversal

 The president of the Confederation of African Football was in Dakar on Wednesday, nearly a month after the body’s shock decision to strip Senegal of its AFCON title and award it to Morocco.


Patrice Motsepe announced the trip at the end of March, stating that he would travel to Senegal and Morocco to emphasise the importance of “working together to grow African football”, as his organisation faces considerable criticism.


President Bassirou Diomaye Faye will receive Motsepe at the presidential palace later in the day, with a press conference to follow.


His visit comes at a particularly tense time for CAF following its surprise decision to overturn Senegal’s 1-0 win over hosts Morocco in the Cup of Nations final on January 18.


CAF cited regulations about leaving the field as it recorded a 3-0 victory in Morocco’s favour on March 17.
