AFCON 2025: CAS expects reasoned decision by the end of November in Senegal’s favor

The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) announced on October 19, 2026, that its ruling on the Senegalese Football Federation’s appeal against the CAF and the Royal Moroccan Football Federation is expected by the end of November. The arbitrators began deliberations after a closed hearing held in Lausanne on October 8 and are preparing a full award with legal reasoning. The announcement does not determine the outcome of the appeal or show that CAS intends to overturn the contested CAF decision.
