CAN Winners: Last 10 Champions | 2025 Preview

Senegal is on the roof of Africa. At the end of the suspense and an incredible scenario, the Lions of Teranga won at the Prince Moulay Abdellah stadium in Rabat, against Morocco (1-0 after). The selection led by Pape Thiaw thus won the second African Cup of Nations in its history, four years after the first.

Waiting for a coronation in the competition for half a century, Morocco, which was playing its first final since 2004, will have to wait even longer before lifting the trophy.

Senegal succeeds Ivory Coast but remains a very respectable distance from Egypt’s record, crowned seven times.
