The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) has granted Morocco until May 7, 2026, to respond to Senegal's appeal concerning the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) final. The decision was announced on April 28, 2026, following Senegal's challenge to the match's outcome.
Senegal filed an appeal with CAS after the final, which took place in 2025, alleging irregularities. The Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF) has been asked to submit its response by the new deadline. CAS will then review the submissions before making a final ruling.
Details of Senegal's specific grievances have not been publicly disclosed, but the appeal centers on events during the final match. Both federations are expected to cooperate fully with the CAS process.
The CAS decision extends the timeline for resolving the dispute, which has drawn significant attention from football fans across Africa. The outcome could have implications for the official result of the tournament.
