The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) has stated it will process Senegal's appeal against the decision to strip them of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations title "as swiftly as possible." The appeal was lodged after the Confederation of African Football (CAF) nullified the final result due to a disciplinary case involving an ineligible player.
Senegal had originally defeated Morocco 1-0 in the final held in CΓ΄te d'Ivoire in February 2023. The subsequent CAF ruling, based on regulations concerning player eligibility, led to the title being declared vacant pending the outcome of the appeal.
A CAS spokesperson confirmed receipt of the appeal but did not provide a specific timeline for the verdict. The court's decision will be final and binding for all parties involved, including CAF and the Senegalese Football Federation.
