Football: 2025 Africa Cup of Nations winner to be known in late November, nearly a year after the final

The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) said on October 19, 2026, that it would issue its decision on the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations final between Senegal and Morocco in late November. Senegal is challenging the CAF decision of March 17, which declared the team to have forfeited after it left the pitch during the January 18 final and recorded a 3–0 win for Morocco. Following a closed-door hearing on October 8, the arbitrators began deliberations and are preparing a reasoned award. The Royal Moroccan Football Federation welcomed CAF’s ruling, while Senegal’s federation appealed to CAS.
