The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) has officially registered an appeal from the Senegalese Football Federation (FSF) challenging the Confederation of African Football’s (CAF) decision to award Morocco the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) title.
The FSF is seeking to overturn CAF’s ruling and restore Senegal as the tournament’s winners. CAS confirmed the appeal was filed on March 25, 2026, with the federation requesting the court “set aside the CAF decision and declare the FSF winners of AFCON.”
The dispute originated in the AFCON final, where Senegal defeated Morocco.
Morocco’s federation contested the result, citing alleged irregularities.
On March 17, 2026, CAF’s Appeal Board sided with Morocco, declaring them champions despite holding the Moroccan side responsible for fan misconduct.
