The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) has announced that the hearing for the dispute between Senegal and Morocco will take place in October 2026. The exact date has not yet been confirmed.
The case involves a disagreement over the eligibility of a player during a recent football match between the two nations. The Senegalese Football Federation filed a complaint with CAS, arguing that Morocco fielded an ineligible player.
Morocco has denied the allegations, stating that all players were properly registered. The CAS panel will review evidence from both sides before issuing a ruling.
This hearing is expected to have implications for the standings in the ongoing African football qualifiers. Both federations have expressed confidence in their legal positions.
