CAS Schedules October Hearing for Senegal's 2026 AFCON Title Appeal Against Morocco
Senegal will appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) on October 8 regarding the 2026 Africa Cup of Nations final, which was controversially awarded to Morocco. The final saw Senegal leading 1-0 after extra time before a late penalty awarded to Morocco led to Senegal's players walking off the field in protest. CAF ruled Senegal forfeited the match, declaring Morocco champions. Senegal contests this decision, arguing it contradicts the Laws of the Game. The CAS hearing will be held behind closed doors in Lausanne, with no set timeline for a verdict.
