Guinea Demands Morocco Be Stripped of 1976 AFCON Title Over Match Walkout

[Yesha]

Guinea has formally called for Morocco to be stripped of their 1976 AFCON title, reigniting debate over one of African football’s most controversial moments.

The West African nation argues that Morocco national football team should forfeit the trophy after allegedly walking off the pitch for 15 minutes during the decisive match of the 1976 Africa Cup of Nations.

According to Guinea, the incident occurred after a red card decision, with Morocco’s protest disrupting the flow of the game. Despite the interruption, the match continued and ended in a draw— a result that ultimately saw Morocco crowned champions, while Guinea national football team finished as runners-up.

Guinea now insists that the walkout constituted a breach of competition rules and is pushing for the title to be retrospectively awarded to them.

The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has yet to issue an official response to the renewed claim, which could reopen historical scrutiny over the tournament’s outcome.

If upheld, the decision would mark one of the most significant retroactive rulings in African football history.

Nakumbuka enzi hizo nikiwa namalizia malizia shule ya msingi mashindano yalifanyikia nchini Ethiopia na mpira uliisha dakika zote 120 matokeo yakiwa 1-1.

Goli la Morocco likifungwa na mshambuliaji wao hatari Ahmed Faras na lile la Guinea likifungwa na mshambuliaji wao hatari vilevile Mamadou Keita N'joleya na Morocco kushinda kwa mikwaju ya penalti.
