The Senegalese Football Federation has moved to clarify reports suggesting that the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) had frozen the decisions of the Confederation of African Football’s (CAF) Appeals Committee regarding the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations title.
In an interview with RTS, Moussa Mbaye, executive committee member of the Senegalese FA stressed the domestic football governing body has not yet submitted its official appeal.
“We will submit the appeal to the court today, Tuesday, and we will begin the necessary procedures,” Mbaye explained, emphasizing that the legal process is just beginning.
He further dismissed circulating rumors about CAS intervening to freeze CAF’s decisions as “unfounded,” urging the public to rely only on official statements from the federation. “People will hear a lot of false news; however, they should be patient and wait for official statements from the Senegalese Federation,” he added.
The federation is currently gathering all necessary documentation and preparing its legal arguments ahead of the March 27 deadline to lodge the appeal. The case follows CAF’s recent declaration awarding the 2025 AFCON title to the Moroccan national team, a decision that has been contested by Senegal.
As anticipation builds, all eyes will be on the submission of Senegal’s formal appeal to CAS and the subsequent proceedings, which could have significant implications for African football and the resolution of the controversial 2025 AFCON title decision.
