Senegal and Morocco face AFCON title decision in Swiss court
The Court of Arbitration for Sport in Switzerland will hear an appeal regarding the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations final between Senegal and Morocco on Thursday.
Chaos ended the match early
The final in Rabat descended into disorder deep into stoppage time. Senegal believed Ismaila Sarr had scored a winner before the referee blew for a Moroccan free-kick. A penalty was awarded to Morocco after a VAR review in the 98th minute.
Players protested the outcome
Senegal coach Pape Thiaw led some of his players off the pitch during the controversy. The Confederation of African Football subsequently stripped Senegal of their trophy nine months ago. Both nations are now waiting for a legal resolution to determine the champion.
