About

The Senegalese Football Federation (FSF) is the governing body for football in Senegal. It is currently newsworthy due to its dispute with the Confederation of African Football (CAF) over the outcome of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON). The FSF is challenging CAF's decision to strip Senegal of the AFCON title and award it to Morocco, following a walkout by Senegalese players during the final match. The FSF has lodged an appeal with the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) in an attempt to overturn CAF's decision. Prior to the final, the FSF also criticized what it perceived as a lack of fair play in Morocco, the host nation. Abdoulaye Fall is the president of the FSF. The outcome of the CAS appeal will determine the rightful holder of the 2025 AFCON title, making the FSF's actions highly relevant in African football.
