00:00The message from Senegal is clear, the trophy is ours and we're keeping hold of it, quite literally
00:04because we've seen the players parade across the pitch here at the Stade de France with the trophy
00:09in their hands, the trophy they brought back from the final of the Africa Cup of Nations
00:14that they won on the night but of course that is contested as things stand because CAF have
00:20ruled indeed that it is in fact Morocco who are owed to have the title after the Senegalese left
00:27the pitch, but Senegal have put in an appeal at the Court of Arbitration for Sports to contest
00:33that decision from CAF. So as things stand, the trophy is very much theirs, they're keeping
00:38hold of it, their players paraded with it, music hero Yusou Dou also to the delight of all the
00:43many many Senegalese fans who are here at the Stade de France today. There's a big Senegalese
00:47diaspora of course in Paris and around and of course they're playing against Peru in a friendly,
00:53a few Peruvian supporters also here as well. But this match is very much about Senegal making
00:58a statement that they're not going to be listening, well they're not listening to CAF very clearly
01:03at as things stand. Their manager, their manager Papjou in the press conference said that they are
01:10still African champions. They're playing with the two stars on their shirt today. So Senegal making a
01:18very, very clear statement here that the trophy is theirs and they're keeping hold of it for
01:22the rest of the time. And while Morocco wants to try and battle things out in the court,
01:26they're adamant that everything happened on the pitch and that despite what happened on the night,
01:31it is their title to celebrate and it's very much what they're saying today that they are African
01:35champions.
