Morocco is preparing to present its case before the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) in relation to the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (CAN 2025), according to reports confirmed by multiple sources. The dispute involves the Moroccan Football Federation and the Confederation of African Football (CAF) over the tournament's organization.
As of April 30, 2026, no official hearing date has been announced by CAS. The case stems from disagreements over the allocation of hosting rights, which were originally awarded to Guinea before being reassigned to Morocco in 2024 due to Guinea's lack of preparedness.
Morocco has invested heavily in infrastructure for the tournament, including stadium renovations and transportation upgrades. The outcome of the CAS hearing could impact the tournament's schedule and Morocco's role as host.
