The trophy that the Senegalese national team won at the recent Africa Cup of Nations (January) is now kept at a military base in Senegal.
The team's coach, Pape Thiao, took the trophy to a military base and left it there for the soldiers who will guard it day and night to take pictures with it.
We remind you that Senegal won the cup in the final against Morocco, but two months later, the Confederation of African Football (CAF) stripped it and awarded it to Morocco because Senegal withdrew and returned to continue and finish their match!
Senegal refuses to return the cup and is appealing to CAS to overturn this unprecedented decision.
