Senegal’s appeal against a decision to strip it of the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) title and award it to hosts Morocco is scheduled to be heard by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) on Thursday, according to multiple reports.
The dispute stems from an earlier ruling by the Confederation of African Football (CAF). After Senegal is stripped of the title, the case moves from the CAF decision into the international sports arbitration process, where a panel reviews the appeal and related filings. Outlets report that the CAS hearing will proceed as a formal review of Senegal’s challenge to the award of the championship to Morocco.
While the articles agree on the central facts—CAS hearing timing, Senegal as the appellant, and Morocco as the beneficiary of the CAF decision—they frame the move as the next step in a “title saga,” highlighting the length of the dispute and the shift in venue from CAF to the Swiss-based sports court.
