Senegal is contesting the Confederation of African Football's (CAF) decision to revoke its Africa Cup of Nations victory against Morocco through legal channels.

The CAF appeals board ruled that Senegal forfeited the January final by leaving the field, changing a 1-0 extra-time win for Senegal into a 3-0 default victory for Morocco.

The Senegalese Football Federation plans to appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport, hoping to overturn the decision that has sparked disbelief and frustration among Senegalese citizens.
