Slowly but surely, Africa will get their 2025 champion. First it was Senegal, then the Teranga Lions were stripped of their crown in favour of Morocco and now it’s up to CAS to decide who is the champion. Court of Arbitration for Sport held a hearing on Thursday in Lausanne and allowed both sides to give their arguments. Since the media ‘war’ back in March, this was the time for legal arguments and evidence. In order not to waste time, numerous written exchanges took place before the session began. It lasted five hours, as both Senegal and Morocco presented their cases before the three arbitrators.##LINKED_NEWS_68777##"What we can say is that our lawyers presented our case, submitted all our observations, and were heard by the arbitration panel. Now, it remains for the CAS to render its decision in the coming days or weeks. I cannot say what really happened because it is a secret of the deliberation. But I can assure you that Senegal defended itself well" said Abdoulaye Sow, Secretary General of the Senegalese Football Federation, while his counterparts from Morocco declined to say anything.##LINKED_NEWS_69240##As per RMC Sport, Morocco based its arguments on Articles 82 and 84 of the African competition regulations, while Senegal's arguments generally revolved around the referee's decision from last January, in which an official confirmed the victory at the end of the match between Morocco and Senegal. The main arbitrator is a Frenchman considered among top lawyers in sports, Gerald Simon. Along with his colleagues, he will bring one of the most important decisions in recent football history. The only thing on which all three sides are united is the fact that a swift solution is needed.##LINKED_NEWS_67497##This dispute has been dragging for far too long, and all parties want a quick solution, so it’s expected that the panel of three arbiters will decide about the AFCON winner quickly."I am well aware that the wait for Moroccan and Senegalese supporters, as well as for all African fans, has been very long. We established the timetable for the procedure with the agreement of all parties involved. This hearing was scheduled by mutual agreement between all parties" CAS General Director Matthieu Reeb told RMC Media.LIGUE 1 – MATCHDAYFriday21.45: (2.45) Lens (3.50) Olympique Lyon (2.80)Saturday18.15: (1.40) Lille (4.70) Le Havre (8.00)21.45: (2.05) Brest (3.45) Angers (3.60)21.45: (3.10) Lorient (3.40) Paris (2.30)21.45: (1.60) Monaco (4.00) Toulouse (5.70)21.45: (1.08) PSG (13.0) Le Mans (20.0)Sunday16.00: (2.40) Nice (3.45) Strasbourg (2.90)18.15: (1.48) Rennes (4.40) Auxerre (6.75)21.45: (3.90) Troyes (3.50) Olympique Marseille (1.95)***odds are subject to change***##SOFASCORE_<iframe id="sofa-standings-embed-4-96127" src="https://widgets.sofascore.com/embed/tournament/4/season/96127/standings?widgetTitle=Ligue+1&showCompetitionLogo=true&widgetTheme=light" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" style="width:100%!important; height:1043px!important;max-width:768px!important;"></iframe><div style="font-size:12px;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;text-align:left"> Standings provided by <a target="_blank" href="https://sofascore.com/">Sofascore</a> </div>##
