CAF President Patrice Motsepe has stated the Confederation of African Football will respect any ruling from the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) regarding Senegal's appeal. The appeal concerns a disputed Africa Cup of Nations (CAN) 2025 qualifier.
Motsepe made the comments during a press conference in Cairo. He emphasized CAF's commitment to following due process and the decisions of the independent sports tribunal.
The Senegalese Football Federation filed the appeal with CAS after a CAF disciplinary decision related to a match against an unspecified opponent. The exact nature of the dispute and the match in question were not detailed in the available reports.
No timeline for the CAS ruling has been publicly announced. The outcome could affect the qualifying standings for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, to be held in Morocco.
