The Senegalese Football Federation's (FSF) appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) against its disqualification from the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) remains pending. The case was filed after the Confederation of African Football (CAF) expelled Senegal from the qualifiers due to the use of an ineligible player.
According to the latest available information, a hearing was held, but a final ruling from the Lausanne-based court has not yet been issued. The FSF is contesting the severity of the sanction, arguing for a financial penalty instead of exclusion from the tournament.
The ongoing delay leaves Senegal's participation in the upcoming AFCON, to be held in Morocco, in limbo. The outcome of this case is being closely watched as it sets a significant precedent for similar eligibility disputes in African football.
