DR ‹ › A claim widely circulating on social media, and relayed by some Senegalese outlets, alleges that the president of the Ivorian Football Federation has sided with Senegal in its dispute with Morocco following the 2025 AFCON final. The narrative appears to stem from an article by the Senegalese platform Senenews, which claims that Yacine Idriss Diallo expressed support for Dakar. However, no evidence supports this claim. There has been no statement, press release, or interview confirming such a position, and a review of the federation's official communications shows no such declaration. In response, the Ivorian Football Federation quickly denied the information, describing it as «completely false» and stating that its president has not commented on the Senegal–Morocco dispute. The misinformation comes amid heightened tensions surrounding the AFCON final and its legal aftermath, where unverified claims continue to fuel competing narratives.
