Unexpected news unfolded between two club teammates.
Kalidou Koulibaly shared that Yassine Bounou informed him that Senegal was no longer the African champion. What sounded like a joke turned out to be a reality. Moments later, both players read an official statement from the Confederation of African Football, indicating that Senegal had lost the title to Morocco.
A few days ago, Yassine Bounou approached me and said, ‘You’re no longer African champions.’ I thought he was joking… but soon after, we got the official statement from CAF confirming that the title was taken from the Senegal national team. We could hardly believe it and ended up laughing about the decision. It seems Al Hilal now holds two African titles simultaneously.
