2025 Africa Cup of Nations: CAS ruling on Senegal-Morocco final expected in late November

The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) expects to issue its decision in late November 2026 on the dispute over the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations final between Senegal and Morocco, following a closed hearing in Lausanne on October 8. The arbitrators are continuing their deliberations to prepare a full ruling, including its legal reasoning; no specific date has been given. Senegal is challenging the CAF appeals jury’s March 17 decision, which declared it to have forfeited and awarded Morocco a 3-0 victory. The Senegalese Football Federation is seeking to overturn that decision and have Senegal recognized as the competition’s winner.
