Senegal to learn appeal verdict on stripped Afcon title in 'a few days'

CAS heard Senegal's appeal against Caf's decision to strip them of the 2024 Afcon title and award it to Morocco; verdict expected within days.

The Court of Arbitration for Sport heard arguments on Thursday in Senegal's appeal against the Confederation of African Football's controversial decision to strip them of the 2024 Africa Cup of Nations title. Senegal had beaten Morocco 1-0 after extra time in January's final in Rabat, but were later stripped of the trophy after Caf ruled they forfeited the match by walking off the pitch for 14 minutes in protest at a penalty decision. CAS director general Matthieu Reeb promised a verdict within days, with the timeline agreed by both parties.
