Morocco have decided to challenge the result of the Africa Cup final after an incident that caused a 17-minute stoppage. The Moroccan camp believes what happened during that long interruption had a direct impact on the decisive moments of the match.

The final was interrupted for 17 minutes following an on-field incident, with play only resuming after a lengthy delay. Morocco say the situation was handled incorrectly and that key decisions taken during and after the stoppage influenced the outcome.

After the match, Morocco formally lodged a complaint about the result. The federation is asking for the case to be reviewed, pointing to the events around the extended stoppage as the basis for their protest.

Officials have not yet announced what the next step will be or how long the process may take. For now, the final result remains unchanged while the complaint is considered.
