CAF to resolve Morocco-Senegal AFCON title dispute
The Sports Arbitration Court "CAS" in Lausanne has scheduled a hearing for October 8th to review the Senegal Football Federation's appeal to regain the Africa Cup of Nations title following the controversial final against Morocco last January. The case comes after the African Union's Appeal Committee considered Senegal as having withdrawn from the match and awarded the title to Morocco, due to Senegalese players leaving the field after a penalty was awarded to Morocco in stoppage time. This decision has kept the legal dispute over the final result ongoing. A final ruling is expected to be issued after the session, which is likely to take several months.
