CAS Schedules Hearing for Senegal's Appeal Against AFCON 2025 Final Decision
On October 8, 2026, the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) will hold a hearing regarding the Senegalese Football Federation's appeal against the African Football Confederation (CAF) and the Moroccan Football Federation concerning the outcome of the AFCON 2025 final. Senegal is contesting the decision made by CAF, which ruled that Senegal lost the final match by default with a score of 3-0, thus awarding the championship title to Morocco. The Senegalese Federation is seeking to have this decision overturned and to declare their team, known as the "Lions of Teranga," as the rightful champions.
The hearing will take place at CAS headquarters in Lausanne, Switzerland, and will be conducted behind closed doors at the request of all parties involved. It is important to note that the ruling will not be announced on the same day as the hearing, and the final decision will be published on the official CAS website as soon as it is available.
