The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) has scheduled a hearing for October 8, 2026, to resolve the dispute over the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) final between Morocco and Senegal. The Senegalese Federation appealed CAF's decision to award the title to Morocco by default (3-0) after Senegal was disqualified for leaving the pitch during the match, citing Article 82 of competition regulations. The hearing will be held behind closed doors as neither federation requested a public session. The CAS must decide whether to confirm or annul CAF's ruling. The article, published by Foot Mercato on July 24, 2026, notes the hearing occurs nearly nine months after the tournament ended.
