The Confederation of African Football (CAF) announced the ideal lineup for the Africa Cup of Nations, which was hosted by Morocco and saw Senegal's national team crowned as the continental champions.

The Senegal national team won the championship after defeating the Morocco national team with a single goal in the final, scored by Pape Gueye, in a match that kept everyone on the edge of their seats until the very last moments.

The final match witnessed a dramatic scenario when Ibrahim Diaz missed a crucial penalty for the Atlas Lions in the last minutes, which could have changed the course of the African title.

Bab Gueye succeeded in securing the victory for Senegal with a powerful shot in the 94th minute of the first extra time, granting his country its second African title in history.
