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.

The hearing represents a significant moment for African football, as it could set an important precedent for handling similar disputes in the future.
Public opinion remains divided, with some neutral observers questioning the legitimacy of the result and criticizing CAF for alleged bias.
The final decision by CAS will either uphold the current result or overturn it, ultimately determining the officially recognized winner of AFCON 2025.
