A viral claim circulating on social media that the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) has declared Senegal the winner of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) is false. No such ruling has been made by CAS, and the tournament has not yet taken place.
The 2025 AFCON is scheduled to be hosted by Morocco from December 21, 2025, to January 18, 2026. The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has confirmed the dates and participating teams, with no official decision altering the competition's outcome.
CAS has not issued any statement regarding the 2025 AFCON winner. The rumor appears to have originated from unverified social media posts and has been widely debunked by fact-checkers. Fans are advised to rely on official CAF and CAS communications for accurate information.
