The Senegalese Football Federation (FSF) confirmed it will take all necessary legal steps to challenge the Confederation of African Football's (CAF) ruling. Senegal officials stated the organisation will stop at nothing to regain the Africa Cup of Nations trophy. The dispute follows a CAF disciplinary committee decision that revoked the title due to alleged player eligibility infractions during the tournament, according to Reuters.
FSF president Augustin Senghor said the federation has already begun preparing an appeal for the Court of Arbitration for Sport. The national body maintains that all registration procedures were followed correctly and that the sanction is disproportionate. African football's governing body has not yet commented on the specific legal timeline for the appeal process, per Sky Sports. The situation remains developing as the FSF seeks to restore its status as African champions. Senegal players and coaching staff have reportedly been briefed on the ongoing legal proceedings as the federation pursues a formal reversal of the original CAF judgement.
