Controversial Title Decision Sparks Debate
CAF's move to strip Senegal of AFCON 2025 and award it to Morocco stirred debate across African sport after Senegal's final walkout was deemed official, effectively granting the Atlas Lions the trophy.
Bono's Honest Take After the Friendly
Opinions split between supporters and skeptics, but Moroccan players chose silence and focused on the pitch.
In this context, Morocco's goalkeeper Yassine Bounou spoke after a 1-1 friendly with Ecuador, underscoring that the team is not dwelling on the title debate.
He stated that the team will focus on what happens and will not enter every ongoing debate.
He added that the federation's stance reflects their position, and that is what matters.
Bounou noted that the campaign was tough, but the squad stayed united and managed the matches well.
He also praised Ibrahim Diaz, who played his first match for the national team since missing a final penalty.
Diaz's form was acknowledged by Bounou and teammates; the keeper said they are happy to have him back.
The squad stays calm, letting football do the talking.
