WOW. Morocco really understood the assignment 🤯🇲🇦⚽️ This stadium in Rabat during Africa Cup of Nations is on another level electric energy, world-class organization, and pure football magic. AFCON nights just hit different in Morocco ✨🔥 📍 Rabat – Prince Moulay Abdellah Sports Complex #afcon #afcon2025 #morocco #football
The Africa Cup of Nations final broke open deep into stoppage time. In the 93rd minute, Senegal thought they had won it when the ball hit the net, only for the goal to be disallowed for a foul in the buildup. Relief swept through the Moroccan crowd, but it was brief. In the 98th minute, after a VAR review, the referee awarded Morocco a penalty. Chaos followed. Senegal’s players protested, then walked off the pitch and into the tunnel. The match stopped for fourteen minutes as officials and Sadio Mané worked to bring them back. Senegal returned around the 112th minute, and moments later the penalty was taken. Morocco tried a Panenka. Édouard Mendy saved it, pushing the final into extra time under heavy tension. Just four minutes into extra time, Pape Gueye struck from outside the box and scored the goal that mattered. Senegal held on until the final whistle, winning 1–0. Through controversy and disorder, they stayed composed, finished the job, and lifted the trophy. Congratulations to Senegal, champions of Africa! 🇸🇳🏆 📽️ @PFGFootball
my fave Afcon moment The Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) is Africa’s premier international football tournament, bringing together the continent’s top national teams every two years to compete for continental glory. Organised by the Confederation of African Football (CAF), the tournament is known for its intense atmosphere, passionate fans, and unpredictable matches, often showcasing emerging talent alongside global stars. AFCON has played a major role in shaping African football identity, elevating players onto the world stage and uniting nations through sport, with host countries often turning the competition into a cultural celebration that goes far beyond football.
The infamous laser incident! 😂 It happened during the World Cup qualifier match between Senegal and Egypt in 2021. A Senegalese fan shone a laser pointer at Egyptian star Mohamed Salah, distracting him as he prepared to take a penalty kick. Salah ended up missing the shot, and Senegal went on to win the match 3-1 in the penalty shootout, securing their spot in the World Cup ¹ ² ³. The Egyptian Football Association accused Senegalese fans of racism and claimed their players were attacked and pelted with bottles and rocks. FIFA fined Senegal's football federation £143,000 and ordered them to play a future game in an empty stadium ¹ ⁴. Interestingly, Senegal Airlines offered to cover the trip and stay in Morocco for the fan who used the laser, Mouhamed Saliou Ndiaye, so he could attend the Africa Cup of Nations semi-final match between Senegal and Egypt ⁵.
😂 The Mali national football team, nicknamed Les Aigles (“The Eagles”), represents Mali in international men’s soccer. Managed by the Malian Football Federation, they compete in major tournaments such as World Cup qualifiers and the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON). Recognizable for their yellow, green, and red kits inspired by the national flag, Mali has built a reputation as one of West Africa’s stronger sides. Their best AFCON finish came in 1972 when they reached the final, and they’ve consistently remained competitive on the continental stage. Football in Mali is closely tied to grassroots and street-level development, which has helped produce high-level talent playing in major leagues worldwide. Players like Franck Kessié and Yves Bissouma highlight the country’s ability to develop stars who compete internationally. The national team continues to be a major source of pride, uniting fans at home and across the diaspora whenever Les Aigles step onto the pitch.
