South African head coach Hugo Broos has defended the CAF appeal board decision to strip Senegal of the AFCON trophy and announced Morocco as winners for the 2025 edition.<\/p>\n
Speaking during a state TV interview, Broos said there are rules which govern the game, and they must be followed by all.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe only thing I can say is that CAF shows again that there is no consistency in their decisions. It\u2019s very painful for Senegal to lose that CAF, but there is a rule, article 83 or something. So there is a rule: if you leave the pitch, it\u2019s forfeit, done, finished. It\u2019s very painful, but you could do it earlier and earlier and say, \u2018Look, guys, you don\u2019t even have to wait for the complaint of Morocco.\u2019 \u201cNo, no, here, look, that\u2019s a rule out.\u201d He said<\/p>\n
