Nine months after Senegal beat Morocco 1-0 in the AFCON 2025 final, the title remains disputed.

The controversy over Senegal’s brief walk-off after a late penalty saw CAF overturn the result and award Morocco a 3-0 win. Senegal appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), where both sides will present their case on October 8.

A ruling is expected later, leaving the AFCON 2025 title and the identity of the defending champions still unresolved.
