Achraf Hakimi has reportedly rejected the AFCON trophy, showing sportsmanship after the tournament controversy. According to him, my mum told me to reject the AFCON trophy. I’m officially rejecting it and hope my teammates do the same. We had our chance to win, but we didn’t. That’s football, sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. He added that Senegal national football team beat us fairly and deserved the win. It would be unfair to take away their joy after their hard work. I respect CAF’s decision, but I did not win the 2025 AFCON. Congratulations to Senegal once again.

Morocco's 1976 AFCON win is being re-examined after a former CAF disciplinary panel chair, Raymond Hack, revealed that Morocco had walked out during the final game against Guinea. Despite the walkout, Morocco returned to the pitch and secured a 1-1 draw, which was enough to give them the title. This revelation comes amid controversy over CAF's recent decision to strip Senegal of the 2025 AFCON title and award it to Morocco after Senegal's walkout in the final.  The Guinea Football Federation is now seeking a review of Morocco's 1976 win, citing the recent ruling as precedent. 

At least 23 people were killed and over 100 injured in suspected suicide bombings in Maiduguri, north-eastern Nigeria.  The attacks targeted locations including the city's main market, the University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital, and the Post Office area. The police blame Boko Haram and ISWAP for the attacks, which are part of a 16-year campaign to establish a caliphate in the country, killing over 40,000 people and displacing around 2 million.  The military has raised concerns about increased threats of suicide bombings, especially during Ramadan, and urged residents to remain vigilant. Security forces have increased their presence and surveillance in Maiduguri to prevent further attacks. 

FIFA has sanctioned Nigeria and DR Congo following disciplinary incidents during their 2026 World Cup qualifying playoff match. Nigeria's Football Federation was fined 1,000 Swiss francs for failing to maintain order and security, as spectators threw objects onto the pitch. DR Congo received a heavier fine of 5,000 Swiss francs for supporters using laser pointers and similar electronic devices.  The sanctions come amid ongoing controversy, with Nigeria challenging the eligibility of several DR Congo players. The NFF had submitted a petition to FIFA, alleging that DR Congo misled the governing body by securing nationality switches for some players. DR Congo defeated Nigeria 4-3 on penalties in the playoff final, securing their spot in the intercontinental playoffs.

Former Super Eagles midfielder Henry Nwosu has passed away at 62 😔.  The Imo State-born football legend died at Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, Ikeja, after five days in intensive care.  Nwosu played a key role in Nigeria's 1980 Africa Cup of Nations win and was known for his vision and creativity on the pitch. His former teammate Segun Odegbami shared the news, remembering Nwosu as the "Youngest Millionaire".  The football community mourns the loss of another icon, following the death of coach Adegboye Onigbinde on March 9 .
