It’s an unprecedented scenario that the Africa Cup of Nations 2025 has just experienced. While Senegal had won on the field against Morocco in the final, the appeal jury of the African Football Confederation (CAF) ultimately decided this Tuesday to declare the Atlas Lions winners on the green carpet (3-0), following the incidents that occurred at the end of the match. 

In light of this exceptional decision, Betclic has also chosen to respond accordingly.   

We announce the payment of all bets related to the victory of Morocco:  

  • Winner of the competition (odds 5.00)

  • Final victory of Morocco in the final (odds 1.60) 

While obviously maintaining the bets that had been validated and paid concerning the victory of Senegal.  

And this, while the regulations allow that bets be paid according to the initial results provided by the organizer. 

“At Betclic, everything starts from a passion for sports and those moments that make us vibrate. Two months after a final, seeing its result completely overturned is an unprecedented situation. In this exceptional context, we have decided to take this new sporting reality into account by validating the stakes that declared Morocco as the winner.” comments a spokesperson for Betclic Group.  

A rare initiative in the world of sports betting, matching one of the greatest turnarounds in the recent history of African football.
