Morocco have been named as Africa Cup of Nations champions, with Senegal’s controversial win overturned two months after its acrimonious conclusion.

The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has made the dramatic decision after an appeal board determined the Senegal team had forfeited the match when they left the field in protest at a disputed penalty deep in stoppage time.
