Senegal Football Federation president confident in CAS appeal for AFCON 2025 hosting rights
Abdoulaye Fall, president of the Senegalese Football Federation, expressed measured confidence regarding Senegal's appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport concerning the allocation of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
Fall emphasized that the national team's recent results would not influence the upcoming decision. During a press conference reviewing the Lions' participation in the 2026 World Cup, he dismissed concerns that the CAS decision could be affected by the team's performance, stating, "There is no fear in that regard. What happened at the World Cup has no connection with the appeal filed with CAS.
We are mobilized and awaiting the verdict." Senegal is challenging the Confederation of African Football's decision regarding the hosting of AFCON 2025. As the procedure is not expedited, a verdict is anticipated by the end of 2026.
