Senegal to appeal to CAS after CAF awards Afcon title to Morocco | OneFootball

Senegal will appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport, CAS, after the Confederation of African Football annulled their 2025 Africa Cup of Nations final win. The title was awarded to Morocco on Tuesday.

The Senegalese Football Federation said in a statement that it will lodge an appeal to CAS as soon as possible to retain the African title. It reiterated an unwavering commitment to integrity and sporting justice, and said it had been notified of a decision dated 17 March 2026 from CAF’s Appeals Jury. The statement called the ruling unjust, unprecedented and unacceptable, adding that it discredits African football.

CAF declared Senegal to have forfeited the 2025 final.

Senegal had beaten Morocco 1-0 in the final on 18 January.

The federation’s response was published overnight from Tuesday to Wednesday.
