The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), has set May 7 as the date to deliver its ruling on the dispute surrounding the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) final.
Senegal is expected to argue that procedural irregularities and possible breaches of competition regulations may have influenced the outcome of the match.
Their appeal forms part of a broader effort to have the result reviewed and potentially overturned.
Morocco, however, has prepared a detailed legal defense, maintaining that the decision made by the Confederation of African Football (CAF) was fully consistent with established regulations.
Their case is supported by match evidence and official documentation submitted during earlier reviews. Reports indicate that Morocco’s legal team is confident of a favorable outcome.
