Senegal Labels CAF Decision ‘Unacceptable’ as AFCON 2025 Title Fight Moves to CAS
The Senegalese Football Federation has condemned the CAF Appeal Board’s ruling that stripped them of the AFCON 2025 crown as iniquitous, unprecedented and unacceptable. They have formally lodged an appeal with the Court of Arbitration for Sport in Lausanne. The decision overturned the original Disciplinary Committee verdict on procedural grounds, after finding Morocco’s right to be heard was not properly respected. Senegal’s legal team plans to challenge every step of the process in their CAS filing. Players have voiced their frustration on social media and remain in possession of their winner’s medals. With CAS rulings taking up to a year, this dispute will linger through the upcoming World Cup, raising broader questions about the integrity of African football.
