Senegal’s President, Bassirou Diomaye Faye, has stirred renewed online reactions after changing his Facebook profile picture to prominently display the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) trophy behind him.

The move comes days after CAF stripped Senegal of its AFCON 2025 title and awarded Morocco a retrospective 3-0 win, 58 days after they lost.

The Confederation of African Football (CAF) stripped Senegal of its 2025 AFCON title and awarded it to Morocco following a disputed final. CAF’s Appeals Board ruled that Senegal forfeited the match due to a temporary walk-off during the game, despite the team originally securing a 1–0 victory after extra time.

The Senegalese Football Federation has since vowed not to hand back its AFCON trophy.

Abdoulaye Sow, Secretary General of the Senegalese Football Federation (FSF), said the trophy is going nowhere.

Speaking with Le Soleil, he said: ‘The Confederation of African Football (CAF) is corrupt, and the reactions worldwide following this decision confirm total outrage.

‘The FSF president is in discussions with all those involved. The fight is far from over.

‘I want to reassure all Senegalese people. Senegal has the right, and victory is on its side. The cup will not leave the country.’

Earlier today, Senegal’s President Bassirou Diomaye Faye sent a strong message by updating his profile picture with the AFCON trophy in the background.

  Maria Farmer has called out President Donald Trump, accusing him of lying.   The artist and one of the earliest accusers of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell accused Trump of lying about his alleged presence at Epstein’s Manhattan office in the 1990s.   In an emotional interview on CNN’s Erin Burnett OutFront on Monday, July 21, Farmer recounted a disturbing encounter she says took place in 1995 when she was 25 years old. At the time, Epstein had recruited her for art-related work and summoned her to his office one evening.   Dressed in exercise shorts after running to the meeting, Farmer says she was left waiting when she noticed a “tall, imposing” man in the room—Donald Trump. “He walked up a few feet from me and just stood over me in a very imposing way,”  she recalled.  “He looked at me like he was in on some secret or something. It was really weird, like smirking. And I felt threatened.”   Farmer said she reacted with an “ugly” face, prompti...

  The Federal High Court in Abuja has given an order to the Federal Government.   It ordered the Federal Government to always serve Biafra agitator, Nnamdi Kanu with documents and materials intended to be submitted as exhibits before they are tendered in court.   Justice James Omotosho said such documents and materials must be front loaded and be made available to the defendant as required by law so as not to catch him unawares in the defense of terrorism charges filed against him.   The judge issued the order on Tuesday during the resumption of Kanu’s trial on terrorism charges.   Issues arose when the second prosecution witness (PW2), codenamed as PWBBB, testified that he was assigned by the Attorney General of the Federation to investigate Kanu.   He described Kanu as the operator of Radio Biafra and the founder of the Eastern Security Network (ESN). However, attempts by the Federal Government through its lawyer, Adegnoyega Awomolo (SAN), to tender a let...
