The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) announced it will hear Senegal's appeal on October 8 against the CAF decision to award the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) title to Morocco by forfeit. The final, held on January 18 in Rabat, descended into chaos after a controversial penalty was awarded to Morocco in stoppage time. Senegalese players left the pitch for 15 minutes, and incidents occurred in the stands. Morocco's Brahim Diaz missed the penalty, and Senegal won 1-0 in extra time. However, CAF's Appeals Board ruled on March 17 that Senegal lost by forfeit, giving Morocco a 3-0 victory. The Senegalese Football Federation (FSF) is asking CAS to overturn that decision. CAS noted the parties did not agree to an expedited procedure, and the final decision will not be announced on the hearing day.
