Briefings

The Court of Arbitration for Sport held a hearing in Lausanne on October 9, 2026, to resolve a dispute over Morocco's victory in the Africa Cup of Nations. Senegal appealed the Confederation of African Football's decision to award the title to Morocco, arguing that the match result was invalid due to a protest by the Senegalese team. The Confederation overturned the original result, citing that the Lions of Teranga left the pitch in protest before returning. The three-judge panel is expected to issue a final verdict soon.
