CAS verdict: “Senegal has prepared its case well”, reassures Djireye Clotilde Coly

Guest of Radio France Internationale this October 5, 2026, the Minister of Youth and Sports, Djireye Clotilde Coly, discussed Senegal’s case in the dispute opposing it to Morocco and the Confederation of African Football (CAF) concerning the CAN 2025 final.

The outcome is approaching. After Senegal’s victory against Morocco in the final of the 2025 African Cup of Nations (CAN), the Confederation of African Football (CAF) decided to award the trophy to Morocco after an appeal from the Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF). But the Senegalese Football Federation (FSF) appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) in order to recover its dues. Moreover, the trial will take place this Thursday, October 8, 2026, with a verdict expected in the coming days.

Asked about the procedure, the Minister of Youth and Sports, Djireye Clotilde Coly, was categorical. “ The court will decide. What is certain is that Senegal has prepared its file well “, she assures.
