DR ‹ › CAF's decision to award the AFCON 2025 title to Morocco following Senegal's walk-off in the final has left both bettors and betting platforms in confusion. Two months after the controversial match, several operators have begun paying out on Morocco as winners. Firms including Paddy Power, BoyleSports, Betfair, Sky Bet and Betclic have confirmed they are settling wagers in line with CAF's ruling, treating it as the official result. This comes despite the fact that many bettors had already been paid out on Senegal after the January final. Sky Bet, for instance, said it would honor bets on both teams, with others taking similar steps to maintain customer trust. «We are settling bets based on the official result», industry players indicated. As a result, bookmakers now face a rare «double payout» scenario, highly unusual in an industry where bets are typically settled at the final whistle. The outcome has turned the AFCON 2025 final into a rare case where bettors on both sides ultimately come out as winners.
