CAS hearing opens today in Morocco-Senegal AFCON final dispute as decision could take weeks

CAS has begun hearing Senegal’s appeal against CAF over the disputed 2025 AFCON final, but the court says its decision could take several days or weeks.

The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) has opened its hearing in Lausanne, Switzerland, to consider Senegal’s appeal against the Confederation of African Football (CAF) over the disputed 2025 Africa Cup of Nations final.

The hearing therefore represents a significant stage in the dispute over the 2025 AFCON title, with Senegal challenging CAF's decision to recognise Morocco following the controversial final.
