Senegal Football Federation has officially filed an appeal at the Court of Arbitration for Sports over CAF decision to strip them of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations title
The ruling by CAF’s Appeals Board came after Morocco appealed, citing a breach of tournament rules following Senegal’s 17-minute walk-off during the final, despite the extra-time winner from Pape Gueye sealing victory.
The Senegalese Football Federation called the decision “unfair, unprecedented and unacceptable.”
CAS Director General Matthieu Reeb issued the following comment after receiving the appeal.
“CAS is perfectly equipped to resolve this type of dispute, with the assistance of expert and independent arbitrators.
"We understand that teams and fans are eager to know the final decision, and we will ensure that arbitration proceedings are conducted as swiftly as possible, while respecting the right of all parties to a fair hearing.”
Meanwhile, CAF President Patrice Motsepe said they will respect and abide by the outcome of the legal process.
