AFCON 2025: No expedited procedure between Morocco and Senegal before the CAS

Who is the winner of the AFCON 2025? A question on which the judges of the Court of Arbitration for Sport will have to decide while the dispute between Morocco and Senegal continues to hit the headlines. And the supporters of both sides will have to bear with their patience, because if the Senegalese Football Federation, which has filed an appeal before the CAS requested an expedited procedure, this was refused by his Moroccan counterpart, who intends to follow the classic procedure and give himself time to prepare his defence file.

As it stands, the standard procedure should take at least 9 months, and may even last up to 12 months. This means that if for now the trophy remains physically on the side of Dakar, it is Morocco who will go to the World Cup with the status of champion of Africa, while waiting for the final verdict.
