أزمة نهائي أمم أفريقيا 2025.. "كاس" تنظر في طعن السنغال ضد تتويج المغرب
(opens the publisher’s site)The Court of Arbitration for Sport will hear Senegal's appeal on Thursday against CAF's decision to award the 2025 AFCON title to Morocco.
- A three-member panel chaired by Frenchman Gerald Simon will hear the appeal behind closed doors in Lausanne on Thursday.
- CAF's appeal board ruled in March that Senegal, which beat hosts Morocco 1-0 in the January final, forfeited the match and handed Morocco a 3-0 victory.
- Senegal, whose players briefly left the pitch in protest before returning, lodged its CAS appeal on March 25 seeking reinstatement as champion.
- CAS said the panel will begin deliberations after the hearing, with no final decision expected on the day.
