Achraf Hakimi, captain of the Morocco national team, has declined to accept the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) title granted to Morocco after a controversial decision by the Confederation of African Football (CAF). The Paris Saint-Germain defender insisted that Morocco did not deserve the trophy after losing the final to Senegal on the pitch.
