Senegal’s national team paraded the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) trophy at the Stade de France on Saturday, despite having their title withdrawn weeks after their controversial victory over hosts Morocco in January.
Ahead of their international friendly against Peru in Paris, captain Kalidou Coulibaly led his teammates onto the pitch with the trophy, taking a lap of honour following a pre-match performance by Senegalese music icon Youssou N’Dour.
The display comes amid ongoing debate surrounding the decision to strip Senegal of the title after their dramatic win earlier in the year.
