A speedy resolution to Senegal’s appeal after being stripped of the Africa Cup of Nations title has been promised by the Court of Arbitration for Sport, who heard arguments on Thursday and will have a decision in days.
Senegal are contesting the Confederation of African Football’s decision to declare Morocco champions, despite Senegal beating the hosts 1-0 after extra time in January’s final in Rabat.
Senegal walked off the pitch for 14 minutes after a penalty was awarded against them late in regulation time, with several players returning to the dressing room in protest before they resumed play.
