Le Sénégal sacré roi d’Afrique : les Lions de la Teranga domptent le Maroc à Rabat
In an epic final at the Rabat stadium on Sunday, January 18, 2026, Senegal secured its second continental title by defeating Morocco. This 35th edition of the Africa Cup of Nations will be remembered for its Hitchcockian drama.
Everything changed in second-half stoppage time. After a goal by Seck was disallowed, Morocco thought they had secured the victory following a penalty awarded by VAR for a foul on Brahim Diaz. This turning point caused a moment of total confusion: protests, a stoppage in play, and the Senegalese players temporarily retreating to the dressing rooms.
Finally back on the pitch, Édouard Mendy donned the hero's mantle, stopping Brahim Diaz's attempt in its tracks. Reinvigorated by this miracle, Pape Thiaw's men forced the issue in extra time thanks to a magnificent strike from Pape Gueye into the top corner. The score remained unchanged, giving Senegal their second trophy after 2021 and shattering Morocco's dream on home soil.
