While the controversy over the withdrawal of the Africa Cup of Nations trophy from Senegal in favor of Morocco continues to fuel debate, certain international media outlets, including France's RMC and Catalonia's Mundo Deportivo, have claimed that the precious trophy is being held by the Senegalese armed forces. To support this claim, an image showing national team coach Pape Thiaw surrounded by military personnel was widely circulated, suggesting an exceptional security detail for the trophy.
However, this interpretation is misleading. The photo in question actually dates back to the official "Trophy Tour," an event that allowed the Senegalese public to see the trophy during a nationwide tour. This was a festive and popular initiative, far removed from the narrative advanced by some media outlets.
