The Senegalese Football Federation has rejected the decision by the Confederation of African Football Appeal Board to award the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations title to Morocco national football team, Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.
CAF had earlier overturned the result of the final against the Senegal national football team, ruling that the West African side forfeited the match following their walk-off during the game in Rabat on January 19.
Reacting to the verdict, the FSF strongly criticised the ruling, describing it as damaging to the credibility of African football.
“The Senegalese Football Federation denounces an unfair, unprecedented, and unacceptable decision that discredits African football,” the statement read.
The federation also confirmed it will challenge the decision at the Court of Arbitration for Sport in a bid to overturn the ruling.
“To defend its rights and the interests of Senegalese football, the Federation will initiate, as soon as possible, an appeal procedure before the Court of Arbitration for Sport,” the statement added.
The FSF reiterated its commitment to integrity and sporting justice, while assuring that updates will be provided as the case progresses.
