Senegal sets CAS appeal date to reclaim AFCON title from Morocco

Senegal’s appeal to reclaim the Africa Cup of Nations title, originally won in a controversial final against Morocco in January, will be heard by the Court of Arbitration for Sport on October 8. The hearing will take place behind closed doors in Lausanne, with no set date for a ruling. Senegal lost the title after being deemed to have defaulted the match when players walked off the field following a disputed penalty decision.
