Briefings

The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) held its hearing on October 9, 2026, to resolve Senegal's appeal against the CAF's decision to award Morocco the Africa Cup of Nations title. This follows a March 2026 CAF ruling that overturned a previous decision, citing a chaotic finish in normal time where Pape Gueye scored an extra-time goal for Senegal. The hearing took place in Lausanne, occurring nearly ten months after the initial match result.
