Senegal Parades Afcon Trophy in Defiance

Senegal captain Kalidou Coulibaly and teammates showcased the trophy during a lap of honor following a pre-match concert by Senegalese singer Youssou N'Dour. The move comes after Senegal was controversially stripped of their Afcon title won against Morocco in January.

'We know we're African champions,' Senegal head coach asserted during the defiant display. The team continues to protest the decision by the Confederation of African Football (CAF) to award the title to Morocco following a controversial final.
