CAF reviews Senegal's bid for African crown
The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) announced that it will review Senegal’s appeal against the Confederation of African Football’s (CAF) decision to strip their national team of the Africa Cup of Nations title they won last January. The final match was marred by riots and protests from players and fans. Senegal had secured the title by defeating Morocco with a goal in extra time, but CAF annulled the championship due to the conduct of Senegalese players and the spectators' participation in the unrest during the match. The court added that a decision will not be made during the same session and that the case will be handled officially before a final ruling is issued.
