CAN 2025: CAS sets a deadline for Morocco in Senegal's appeal

The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) has set a deadline of May 7, 2026, for the Royal Moroccan Football Federation to submit its defense regarding the dispute over the CAN 2025 final. The Senegalese Football Federation is contesting the CAF's decision that awarded a 3-0 victory to Morocco after a match interruption. Fouzi Lekjaa, president of the FRMF, stated that Morocco has solid arguments for its defense, but the resolution of this case could take several months. A final decision from the CAS could either confirm Morocco's title or alter the CAN 2025 record.
