Ahmed Hossam "Mido," the former Egyptian national team player, directed sharp criticism at the Confederation of African Football following its decision to award the Africa Cup of Nations title to the Moroccan national team.

Mido stated that stripping Senegal of the title and awarding it to Morocco represents "the biggest scandal in the history of football," considering that this decision could cause division within the African continent and affect its image.

He added that African football needs radical changes, calling for the departure of those responsible for this decision, and affirming that the continent deserves a better situation.

Mido emphasized that he holds no negative stance towards Morocco, expressing his appreciation for the country and its people. However, he pointed out that the Senegal national team was the better side on the field and believes they deserved to win.

He concluded his remarks by emphasizing the difficulty of congratulating any team on a title that was not achieved on the field, referring to the controversy surrounding the continental decision.
