CAS: Stakes over the 2025 African championship title remain unresolved

Senegal beat Morocco 1–0 on January 18, but on March 17 the CAF ruled that the Lions had forfeited after abandoning the field and awarded Morocco a 3–0 victory by default. Senegal’s football federation appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport, which heard the parties behind closed doors on October 8, with Gérald Simon presiding. No ruling date has been announced: CAS has up to four months after the hearing, while its director general, Matthieu Reeb, said a decision could come within days or weeks. If CAS upholds the forfeit, Morocco will retain the title, with only very limited grounds for an appeal to the Swiss Federal Tribunal; an online document claiming the title had been awarded to Senegal was identified as fake.

Get ready for the Youth Olympics in Dakar: Routes and traffic to know

The Youth Olympic Games will run from October 31 to November 13, 2026, in Senegal, with about 2,700 athletes aged 14 to 17 competing in 25 sports across Dakar, Diamniadio and Saly. The mobility plan includes 166 measures, reserved lanes and traffic restrictions, particularly around Stade Abdoulaye-Wade for the opening ceremony, expected to draw about 50,000 people. The TER is recommended as the best way to avoid traffic, while exits 10, 11 and 12 of the A1 will serve different traffic groups. The Diamniadio overpass, still unfinished in early October, was expected to be completed before the Games.

Nigeria to Miss U-17 World Cup After WAFU B Exit

Nigeria’s Golden Eaglets were eliminated from the 2026 WAFU-B U-17 Championship after a 1-1 draw with Côte d’Ivoire on Saturday in Burkina Faso. Following an opening loss to Niger, Nigeria needed a win to reach the semi-finals, while Niger and Côte d’Ivoire advanced. The result means Nigeria will miss the 2027 U-17 Africa Cup of Nations and the 2027 FIFA U-17 World Cup in Qatar, extending their absences to three consecutive AFCON editions and four World Cup editions. Five-time world champions Nigeria last played at the global tournament in 2019, reaching the round of 16.
