The legal dispute surrounding the AFCON final is currently under review by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS). Senegal has formally appealed the Confederation of African Football’s (CAF) decision to grant the tournament title to Morocco, challenging the legitimacy of the administrative ruling.

While the CAF has maintained its stance on the awarding of the trophy, the CAS is now the final arbiter in the matter. The court has indicated that its verdict will be delivered by the end of November. This ruling is expected to resolve the uncertainty that has persisted since the conclusion of the tournament.

There is currently no public information regarding the specific legal arguments Senegal is using to contest the CAF’s decision, nor has the CAF released detailed documentation explaining the rationale behind their initial award to Morocco. The outcome of the CAS ruling will be binding for all parties involved, effectively ending the administrative conflict over the title.
