Senegal on Saturday, presented the Africa Cup of Nations, AFCON, trophy before their friendly against Peru despite having their title stripped.

The Teranga Lions initially won the AFCON final against Morocco in January.

But 57 days later, CAF announced that its appeal board had declared the Atlas Lions 3-0 winners instead.

A day after that decision was publicised, Senegal confirmed they would appeal the decision to the Court of Arbitration for Sport, CAS.

They have also apparently refused to return the trophy to CAF.

In an act of defiance, not only did they parade the trophy in Paris, they also added a second star to their kit, as they consider themselves the rightful champions.

The incident occurred in the city’s 8th arrondissement, near the Champs-Élysées, at around 3:30am local time. According to sources close to the investigation, officers intervened just after the suspect placed a device consisting of a container filled with liquid believed to be fuel and an ignition system. France’s counter-terrorism prosecutor confirmed the suspect is in custody and said the case is being investigated as “attempted damage by fire or other dangerous means in connection with a terrorist undertaking” and “terrorist criminal conspiracy.” The investigation involves both the Paris judicial police and the General Directorate for Internal Security.
