Senegal’s appeal against CAF’s decision to strip it of the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) title after its final against Morocco is set to be heard by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) in October. Multiple reports say Senegal won the final 1-0 over the hosts, but later had the title reversed following a CAF ruling. The Independent and other outlets report that Senegal is judged to have forfeited the final under CAF’s regulations, leading to the overturning of the result by CAF’s appeals process. CAS has now scheduled a hearing for October, with several sources specifying October 8 as the date. Coverage describes the dispute as arising from a “chaotic” final in January, after which Senegal’s title was removed and reassigned. The CAS hearing is expected to determine whether the original outcome should be reinstated or whether CAF’s decision stands. Until CAS issues a decision, Senegal’s status as AFCON champions remains contested, and the matter is ongoing at sport’s highest court.
