Senegal are contesting the Confederation of African Football’s (CAF) ⁠decision to declare Morocco champions, despite Senegal beating the hosts 1-0 after extra time in January’s final in Rabat.

Senegal walked off the pitch for 14 minutes after a penalty was awarded against them late ⁠in regulation time, with several players returning to the dressing room in protest before they resumed play.

Morocco failed to convert the spot kick, sending the match into extra time, where Senegal scored the winner to secure victory.

However, they were stripped of the title two months later after CAF’s Appeal Board ruled that Senegal ‌had forfeited the match by walking off the pitch, overturning the result and awarding a 3-0 victory to Morocco.

O Senegal rapidamente seguiu com um recurso ao mais alto tribunal do esporte, CAS, que foi protocolado em 25 de março, mas ouvido na quinta-feira.

The long-running saga over the winner of this year’s Africa Cup of Nations title will be concluded within days, although Reeb did not ⁠give a definite date.

The CAS panel, presided over by French sports law expert Gerald Simon with assistance from Italian international law professor Luigi Fumagalli and Hamburg-based lawyer and professor of law at the University of Zurich Ulrich Haas, heard the pleadings of the parties ‌who were represented by their lawyers, with the hearing completed on Thursday.

A delegação do Marrocos não falou à imprensa. O Secretário‑Geral do Senegal, Abdoulaye Sow, disse que estavam confiantes.
