Senegal appeals to get Africa Cup of Nations title from Morocco at CAS with no timetable for verdict

LAUSANNE, Switzerland (AP) — Senegal’s appeal to be reinstated as Africa Cup of Nations champion was registered Wednesday by sport’s highest court, which set no timetable for a likely long process toward a verdict in a heated football controversy. The Senegal football federation is challenging a surprise ruling last week by the Confederation of African Football (CAF) to strip the title won in a chaotic final on the field in January and award it to host nation Morocco.
