A dramatic moment reportedly occurred during Thursday’s Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) hearing involving the dispute over the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) final between Morocco and Senegal.
A lawyer representing the Senegalese Football Federation (FSF) reportedly interrupted proceedings by lying down in the middle of the courtroom.
The unexpected incident caused a stir during the hearing in Lausanne, Switzerland, as Senegal continues its legal challenge against the Confederation of African Football (CAF) decision concerning the AFCON 2025 final.
The case centres on CAF’s decision to award the final to Morocco after the controversial events surrounding Senegal’s players’ temporary departure from the pitch during the match.
The CAS proceedings are being held behind closed doors, with the Court expected to deliberate on the appeal and issue its decision at a later date.
The outcome could have significant implications for the official status of the AFCON 2025 final and the continental title.
