CAS dismisses rumors over Africa Cup of Nations 2025 final appeal
The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) has dismissed widespread online speculation regarding the legal dispute related to the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations final, confirming that no decision has been issued and that the case remains under review.
The clarification comes after numerous posts circulated on social media claiming that CAS had already ruled in favor of Senegal. The court has officially denied those reports, emphasizing that the proceedings are still ongoing and that no final judgment has been announced.
CAS urged the public, media outlets, and football supporters to rely only on official communications published through its recognized channels. The institution also warned against the spread of unofficial documents and misleading information, which have fueled confusion in recent days.
As the world's leading independent body for resolving sports-related disputes, CAS follows established legal procedures before delivering its decisions. Once deliberations are complete, any ruling will be published through the court's official communication process.
The case has attracted considerable attention due to the significance of the Africa Cup of Nations and the sporting implications for the teams involved. However, legal experts note that arbitration proceedings often require time, particularly when they involve complex regulatory or procedural issues.
Neither the Confederation of African Football (CAF) nor the parties involved have announced any change in the status of the appeal. Until an official ruling is issued, the matter remains legally unresolved.
The latest statement from CAS highlights the growing challenge posed by misinformation on social media, where unverified reports can quickly spread and create uncertainty around major sporting events. The court reiterated that only official announcements should be considered authoritative regarding the outcome of the case.
