TAS to rule on Africa Cup winner
The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) held a hearing on October 8, 2026, to review the Senegal Football Federation's appeal against the decision of the Confederation of African Football (CAF) and the Royal Moroccan Football Federation regarding the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations final. CAF's decision last March annulled Senegal's victory, which had been secured with a victory in extra time over Morocco, and awarded the title to an unworthy team. This came after players of the "Lions of Teranga" protested the awarding of a penalty to Morocco and some of them left the pitch. As a result, the Senegalese federation filed the case with the Court of Arbitration, which will hear the parties behind closed doors. A ruling will be issued later, with an emphasis on not rushing to publish any information before the final decision is made.
