Former CAF Disciplinary Board Chairman Raymond Hack believes Senegal will emerge victorious at the Court of Arbitration for Sport after being stripped 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.”
They also announced plans to challenge the decision at the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
"If I was dealing with it [at CAS], my decision will be very clear,” Hack said in an interview with Sports Journalist Robert Marawa.
"The referee is the only person who can bring a game to an end, he brought the game to an end at the end of the extra-time and the winner was Senegal.
[So Senegal remain champions] yes."
Meanwhile, CAF President Patrice Motsepe said they will respect and abide by the outcome of the legal process.
