The Guinean Football Federation has denied reports claiming it filed an appeal with the Confederation of African Football to challenge Morocco’s 1976 Africa Cup of Nations victory
The clarification follows viral claims suggesting that Guinea had demanded the 1976 AFCON trophy be awarded to it, citing a reported walkout by Morocco during the final match of the tournament.
The rumours emerged after CAF’s Appeals Board reportedly stripped Senegal of the 2025 AFCON title and awarded it to Morocco.
The ruling allegedly found Senegal in violation of Articles 82 and 84 of the AFCON regulations after several players walked off the pitch to protest a referee’s decision, fueling reports in some quarters linking Guinea to past competitions.
Reacting in a statement issued on Sunday, the FGF described the reports as “inaccurate” and “without official basis.”
