Guinea demands CAF review 1976 AFCON result after Morocco walkout
Guinea Football Federation requests CAF to overturn 1976 AFCON title awarded to Morocco, citing Morocco's walkout during a 1976 match and CAF's 2025 sanction against Senegal. The federation argues similar disciplinary standards should apply retroactively, referencing the decisive 1976 clash where Morocco needed a draw while Guinea required a win. Morocco led 1-0 before walking off in protest over a refereeing decision, later drawing 1-1. Morocco won the group with five points to claim the title, while Guinea finished second. Guinea demands the trophy be returned and cites CAF's Article 84 regulations, though analysts note these weren't in force in 1976. CAF stripped Senegal of the 2025 title 58 days after their walkout, declaring Morocco champions. Guinea's appeal tests CAF's willingness to revisit historical decisions.
