The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) has scheduled October 8, 2026, for the hearing of the dispute between Senegal and Morocco over the outcome of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations final. The hearing will take place in Lausanne, Switzerland, at 9:30am, with representatives from the Senegalese Football Federation, the Royal Moroccan Football Federation, and the Confederation of African Football expected to appear. The proceedings will be conducted in French and held behind closed doors. The dispute stems from the controversial final, which Senegal initially won 1-0 through Pape Gueye's goal, but was interrupted when Senegal players temporarily left the pitch following a penalty awarded to Morocco; they returned after Sadio Mane intervened.
