'So Nimbus The Cat Was Right': Nora Fatehi Reacts To Morocco's AFCON Win With Viral Post Amid Ban On Controversial 'Sarke Chunar' Song

Actor and dancer Nora Fatehi sparked fresh buzz on social media after sharing an Instagram story reacting to a dramatic twist in African football. The star posted a message saying, “So Nimbus The Cat Was Right After All,” after Morocco were belatedly awarded the Africa Cup of Nations title following a landmark ruling by Confederation of African Football that stripped Senegal of the championship.

The decision has been one of the biggest talking points in recent football discussions. CAF’s ruling overturned the earlier outcome of the tournament and officially handed Morocco the AFCON title, a development that stunned fans and triggered intense reactions across the football world. For many supporters of the Moroccan national team, the announcement felt like a long-awaited and dramatic reversal.

Nora’s Instagram story quickly went viral because of the unusual reference to Nimbus The Cat, an internet-famous animal known among fans for “predicting” football results. Over time, the cat gained attention online for making selections before major matches, with many supporters jokingly treating its picks as lucky omens. With Morocco now crowned champions, Nora’s post playfully suggested that the feline predictor had gotten it right once again.
