Patrice Motsepe to Visit Senegal After Disputed AFCON 2025 Final Ruling

CAF President Patrice Motsepe is set to travel to Dakar this Tuesday. His visit follows the Appeals Board decision that Senegal forfeited the 2025 AFCON final, awarding Morocco a 3-0 win after Senegal walked off the pitch. The ruling sparked worldwide outrage and strained relations between CAF, Senegal and Morocco. In response, Senegal has appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport in Lausanne, a process that may take up to a year. According to local journalist Lassana Camara, Motsepe will meet President Bassirou Diomaye Faye and Football Federation head Abdoulaye Fall. CAF hopes these talks will help ease tensions and restore its reputation after this PR setback.
