The Senegal national team's defender Kalidou Koulibaly commented on the appointment of the Morocco national team as AFCON champions and did not hide his anger about this decision:

"It was earned, not given. We fought for the title on the field, through collective effort and dedication.

The title is here and it will not go anywhere—Africa celebrates it.

Thank you for your understanding...”

The decision to appoint the Morocco national team as AFCON champions was made earlier this week.

At the final, the Senegalese had left the field and returned only after ten minutes.
