CAF to Rule on Morocco vs Senegal AFCON Final Appeal

The CAF Appeal Committee is scheduled to convene on Tuesday, March 17, 2026, to address the appeal concerning the highly contentious dispute over the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) final between Morocco and Senegal. This case arises from a prior ruling by CAF's disciplinary committee regarding the tournament's controversial conclusion.

The Royal Moroccan Football Federation, under the leadership of President Fouzi Lekjaa, is at the forefront of this appeal, seeking a review of the disciplinary body's verdict. The meeting is expected to deliver a decision that could significantly impact the final results of the AFCON 2025 championship and set an important precedent for how CAF handles similar disputes in the future.

The outcome is anticipated to spark intense discussions among African football fans, analysts, and stakeholders regarding the standards of officiating in major tournaments. CAF has yet to confirm whether the appeal proceedings will be made public or streamed live.
