Na de gewonnen finale tegen Egypte werd de trofee aanvankelijk overhandigd aan toenmalig aanvoerder Sadio Man\u00e9. Met Man\u00e9's latere transfer naar clubs in Europa bleef de fysieke beker echter bij de Senegalese voetbalbond.<\/p>\n<p>Motsepe benadrukte dat deze handeling een formele erkenning was. \u201cIk heb de beker aan Koulibaly overhandigd omdat hij de aanvoerder en leider van het Senegalese nationale team is,\u201d verklaarde Motsepe. \u201cSenegal is de ware Afrikaanse kampioen, en deze trofee behoort rechtmatig toe aan hen en hun gepassioneerde fans.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dit gebaar verstevigt de status van Senegal en zorgt ervoor dat de trofee bij haar aanvoerder op het veld is. Koulibaly, die het aanvoerderschap overnam na het vertrek van Man\u00e9, heeft nu het symbool in handen van de allereerste AFCON-zege van Senegal. De Afrikaanse voetbalbond heeft dit hoofdstuk nu afgesloten, met de beker officieel in handen van de regerend kampioen terwijl zij zich voorbereiden op hun titelverdediging in 2026.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CAF President Dr. Patrice Motsepe has personally handed the Africa Cup of Nations trophy to Senegal captain Kalidou Koulibaly, officially [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":10234,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"googlesitekit_rrm_CAow_uzEDA:productID":"","site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[20,1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-10235","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-international","category-football-latest-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.6 (Yoast SEO v27.3) -
