Senegal Calls CAF Ruling On AFCON Final ‘unfair And Unacceptable, Set To File An Appeal Before CAS
The Senegalese Football Federation: The Senegalese Football Federation (FSF) has denounced the ruling by the Confederation of African Football (CAF) over their Africa Cup of Nations clash against Morocco and decided to initiate an appeal procedure before the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) in Lausanne.
The controversy stems from Match No. 52 of the AFCON 2025 in Morocco, where a complaint during the game triggered disciplinary proceedings. While the CAF’s disciplinary board had earlier ruled in Senegal’s favour, that decision was overturned by the CAF’s appeals committee.
Senegal had beaten Morocco 1-0 in the January 18 AFCON final, but the match was marred by controversy when Senegal's players refused to continue after Morocco was awarded a stoppage-time penalty with the score level. Play resumed after a 17-minute delay. Brahim Diaz's penalty was saved before Pape Gueye scored the winner for Senegal in extra time.
