Senegal to appeal CAF's decision to hand AFCON title to Morocco

Senegal will appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport after CAF stripped them of the AFCON title and awarded it to Morocco.
CAF’s decision reversed the result and awarded a 3-0 win to Morocco after Senegal walked off in protest during stoppage time.
Morocco welcomed the verdict and emphasized its commitment to upholding competition rules.
Senegalese officials said they will pursue the appeal with urgency to defend Senegalese football's rights and interests.
Senegalese players and officials reacted strongly on social media to the decision and the broader AFCON final controversy.
The final's outcome and CAF’s ruling were tied to a protest over a disputed penalty and crowd unrest.
The CAF decision was announced two months after the AFCON final and sparked debate about African football governance.
The report cites information from Associated Press and PA as part of the coverage.
The final decision hands Morocco a second AFCON title, while Senegal plans further legal action.
