Senegal secures can 2025 appeal decision from caf jury
The Senegalese Football Federation has finally received the detailed ruling from the CAF Appeals Jury, paving the way for an appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (TAS).
After weeks of suspense, the federation confirmed receiving the verdict just before the weekend, a critical step in challenging the Confédération Africaine de Football‘s decision to award the CAN 2025 title to Morocco by default.
The ruling, shared with all involved parties, reaffirms the 3-0 victory for Morocco but explicitly excludes any judgment on medals, trophies, or financial bonuses — matters outside the Appeals Jury’s jurisdiction. Despite this, the CAF has yet to issue an official statement on the tournament’s outcome, leaving the situation unresolved.
what’s next for the can 2025 final appeal?
The TAS has not yet set a timeline for deliberations, but the process will ultimately conclude the long-running controversy sparked by the controversial final. Both teams will have no further recourse once a decision is rendered. Me Matthieu Reeb, the TAS Secretary General, emphasized the court’s readiness to handle the case efficiently while ensuring fair proceedings for all stakeholders.
“The TAS is fully equipped to resolve this dispute with specialized and independent arbitrators. We are aware of the urgency for teams and fans to receive a final decision and will prioritize a timely resolution while upholding due process.”
