Senegal's AFCON 2025 Title Appeal Set for Oct 8 Hearing

The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) – also known as the Tribunal Arbitral du Sport (TAS) – has scheduled a closed‑door hearing for 8 October 2026 at its headquarters in Lausanne, Switzerland. The panel will consider the appeal filed by the Senegalese Football Federation (FSF) against the Confederation of African Football's (CAF) decision that awarded Morocco the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations title after declaring Senegal had forfeited the final. The appeal was registered on 25 March 2026; the parties did not request an accelerated procedure or a public hearing. After the hearing the arbitrators will deliberate in private, with the final verdict to be issued at a later date, not on the day of the hearing. CAS/TAS also warned that inaccurate information circulating online should not be regarded as official.
