It is noteworthy that Peres described the Senegal national team as the champion of Africa, despite the decision of the Confederation of African Football to deprive it of the Cup of Nations won last January at the expense of the Moroccan national team.
Last March, the African Confederation decided to consider Senegal as the losers of the final due to elimination, depriving them of their second title in their history, while Morocco won it for the second time as well.
