> The Court of Arbitration for Sport will hear Senegal’s appeal in Lausanne on Thursday after CAF stripped the team of its Africa Cup of Nations title and awarded a 3-0 victory to Morocco. Senegal argues that its 14-minute protest walk-off in the final was temporary, while Morocco and CAF are expected to defend the ruling. The hearing is closed and no date has been set for a decision.
