thebalanced.newsSenegal's World Cup Jerseys to Display One Africa Cup Star Amid Title Dispute
Senegal's World Cup jerseys will feature only one Africa Cup star this summer due to production timelines set before the team was stripped of its second Africa Cup of Nations title. The Senegalese Football Federation (FSF) clarified that jersey manufacturing began in August last year and could not be halted. Despite the Confederation of African Football awarding Morocco a default win after Senegal left the field in the January final, the FSF continues to recognize their victory and plans to include the second star on jerseys available from September. The FSF intends to appeal the decision to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
