Source: Social media (X and Instagram)
Verdict: False
Researched by Gifty Danso
After the Confederation of African Football (CAF) stripped Senegal of the 2025 African Cup of Nations (AFCON) title and handed it to Morocco earlier this year, the Senegalese Football Federation (FSF) appealed against CAF’s decision at the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).
However, almost four months later, viral posts on social media (here, here, here, and here) claim the appeal has been decided and the Court had declared Senegal winners of the AfCON. The claim was circulated with a legal notice supposedly issued by CAS.
This report found the claim to be False by writing to CAS and also reviewing their recent rulings as contained on their website. We also trace a series of misinformation that has been peddled on social media after the tournament.
