The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) is currently handling multiple cases involving Senegalese football, including an appeal related to the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) final between Senegal and Morocco. The verdict has not yet been delivered, and CAS is reportedly putting pressure on the Senegalese Football Federation (FSF) to expedite the process.
According to recent reports, the CAS has requested additional documents and clarifications from the Senegalese side, which has caused delays. The appeal was filed by Senegal after their loss to Morocco in the final, which took place in January 2025. The Senegalese federation has contested the result, citing alleged refereeing errors during the match.
As of August 22, 2026, no official statement has been released by CAS regarding a timeline for the decision. The FSF has expressed confidence in their case, while the Moroccan Football Federation has remained silent on the matter. Legal experts suggest that CAS rulings in such cases are rare and often uphold the original result unless there is clear evidence of procedural violations.
The ongoing case has drawn attention from football fans across Africa, with many awaiting the outcome. Meanwhile, Senegal has continued its football activities, including qualifying matches for the 2026 World Cup, where they are currently in a strong position.
