Morocco declared the winners of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations after the Confederation of African Football overturns the result of their final defeat to Senegal.

The UK Government has confirmed it is preparing to sue former Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich after he failed to meet a deadline to release the 2.5 billion he pocketed from selling the west London football club.The Russian businessman, who was forced to sell the club following the invasion of Ukraine in 2022, was given 90 days to transfer the frozen funds to a foundation to provide aid to the war-struck nation.Sir Keir Starmer warned Abramovich in December last year, giving him a strict deadline.The Russian is understood to have failed to meet the demands of the UK Government.TRENDINGStoriesVideosYour SayA Government spokesman said: "We gave Roman Abramovich his last chance to do the right thing. "Once again, he has failed to make the donation he committed to."We will now take further steps to ensure that the promise he made at the time of the Chelsea sale is kept."Abramovich's counsel maintains there exists "no legal basis" for the Government's threats regarding the frozen funds.In a letter released by the Russians' lawyers said: "It is important to emphasise that the funds, although currently frozen, remain the property of Fordstam Limited, which is wholly owned by Mr Abramovich."The correspondence launches a scathing attack on what it describes as "politically charged and highly publicised statements made by the UK Government".Abramovich's lawyers also argued that this confrontational approach reflects a pattern of mishandling that has lasted nearly four years.The letter added: "Unfortunately, this approach is consistent with the manner in which the UK Government has handled this matter since the sale of Chelsea FC in 2022 across the tenure of four prime ministers and five foreign secretaries."The legal team accuses ministers of acting without proper authority, claiming the Government "has now chosen to threaten litigation and to issue a licence unilaterally, without having a legal basis for doing so".The impasse dates back to April 2022, when the Royal Court of Jersey imposed a freezing order on $5.25billion worth of Abramovich's assets, just weeks after he pledged to donate the proceeds from Chelsea.The Government insists that money must be spent exclusively within Ukraine to prevent it from reaching Russia.Abramovich, however, backed by organisations including Save the Children, argues the conflict has created humanitarian crises extending beyond Ukrainian borders.Mr Abramovich bought Chelsea Football Club in 2003 and pumped billions into the club. During his time at the club, he won several trophies, including multiple Premier League titles and the Champions League.Mr Abramovich has been accused of being an ally to Vladimir Putin.Under Boris Johnson's Government Mr Abramovich was sanctioned due to his links to the Russian leader when Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022.Our Standards: The GB News Editorial Charter

Morocco was stunningly awarded the Africa Cup of Nations title on Tuesday by appeals judges who overturned Senegals victory in a chaotic final in January.The Confederation of African Football said its appeals board ruled that Senegal is declared to have forfeited the final and its 1-0 win in extra time becomes a 3-0 default win for host nation Morocco.In the Jan. 18 final in Rabat, Senegal players led by coach Pape Thiaw left the field in protest during stoppage time for 15 minutes and fans tried to storm the field when Morocco was awarded a penalty that was set to decide the match.When play resumed, Morocco forward Brahim Diazs spot kick a controversial slow chip shot known as a Panenka was saved by goalkeeper douard Mendy and Senegal scored the only goal in extra time.Tension in the stadium was already raised by Senegal being denied a goal minutes before the penalty was given to Morocco.In the second minute of stoppage time, Senegals apparent go-ahead goal was ruled out for a foul by Abdoulaye Seck, but TV replays showed little contact on Morocco defender Achraf Hakimi.At an initial disciplinary hearing, CAF imposed fines of than $1 million in fines and bans for Senegal and Morocco players and officials but left the result untouched.The case could go to a further appeal at the Court of Arbitration for Sport.CAF cited article 82 of tournament regulations for its marquee event to justify the verdict enforced on appeal, though not at the first hearing.It states if, for any reason whatsoever, a team withdraws from the competition or does not report for a match, or refuses to play or leaves the ground before the regular end of the match without the authorization of the referee, it shall be considered loser and shall be eliminated for good from the current competition.___AP soccer: https://apnews.com/hub/soccer
