CAN retirée au Sénégal : la réunion au Palais et le coup de main de Diomaye Faye à Fédé
The CAF's decision to strip Senegal of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) and award it to Morocco, despite Senegal's defeat on the field and subsequent victory by default, has become a matter of national importance in Senegal. During Wednesday's cabinet meeting, President Diomaye Faye expressed his "regret" and "indignation" at the continental body's appeals court's verdict and instructed the government, through the Ministry of Sports, to take the necessary steps, in conjunction with the Senegalese Football Federation (FSF), to appeal the case to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).
At the end of the weekly cabinet meeting, the Head of State met with the President and Secretary General of the Federation, Abdoulaye Fall and Abdoulaye Sow, respectively. L'Observateur, which broke the story, reports that during the meeting, Diomaye Faye "pledged to cover a significant portion of the lawyers' fees." "The Head of State even suggested bringing in two leading lawyers to strengthen the Senegalese legal team," the newspaper, part of the Future Media Group, adds.
Also, in a symbolic gesture, the President of the Republic changed his Facebook profile picture, opting for a picture where he is seen immersed in his files with the AFCON trophy in the background, displayed in a bookcase.
Following their meeting with the President, the FSF president and secretary general participated in the meeting of the federal Executive Committee (Comex). According to L'Observateur, Senegal's response strategy was adopted there, including filing a case with the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) and retaining a team of six lawyers led by Seydou Diagne.
