CAS to rule on Morocco-Senegal 2025 Africa Cup of Nations final by end of November

CAS will rule on Senegal's appeal against Morocco's walkover victory in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations final by end of November 2026.

Nearly a year after the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations final, the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) will announce its decision by end of November 2026 on Senegal's appeal against Morocco's walkover victory. The arbitration panel began deliberations in October and decided to issue a full reasoned decision, a process expected to take several weeks. On 18 January, Senegal won 1-0 against Morocco in extra time in Rabat, but the CAF appeals jury ruled on 17 March that Senegal forfeited 3-0 after players left the pitch in protest over a disallowed penalty.
