Anticipation Grows for the CAS Ruling on AFCON 2025 Final
On October 19, 2026, the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) announced that a decision regarding the Senegalese Football Federation's appeal against Morocco's victory in the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) 2025 final is expected by the end of November. The proceedings continue following a hearing held on October 8 in Lausanne, Switzerland, where the case was presented before the three arbitrators responsible for the matter.
The suspense surrounding the AFCON 2025 final between Morocco and Senegal continues to build. In a statement released on Monday, the CAS clarified that the arbitrators are still deliberating and that a comprehensive verdict is anticipated by the end of November 2026. The CAS, based in Lausanne, indicated that the arbitrators opted to issue a reasoned decision that will detail all the legal arguments justifying their ruling. This process requires additional weeks of work, thereby ruling out an immediate verdict.
"The CAS arbitrators have decided to render a complete decision, which includes the legal grounds, referred to as the 'CAS award,'" the statement emphasized, highlighting the thoroughness of the deliberation process. As the football community awaits this significant ruling, the implications of the decision could have a profound impact on both teams and their supporters, bringing to light the competitive spirit of African football.
