The Confederation of African Football (CAF) stripped Senegal of the AFCON 2025 title they won on the pitch and awarded it to Morocco after a challenge by the North African side. Senegal then appealed the decision.

The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) has announced that its arbitrators have opted for a comprehensive award rather than a summary judgment. "This process will require several weeks, with the CAS Award expected at the end of November 2026," CAS said in a statement.

The AFCON 2025 tournament was plunged into controversy during the final between hosts Morocco and Senegal. Senegal walked off the pitch to protest a late penalty awarded to Morocco in the closing minutes of regulation time. Play resumed after a 15-minute delay, and Senegal went on to win the match.

However, in March, the CAF appeals panel overturned the result, awarding Morocco a default victory.
