Slowly but surely, Africa will get their 2025 champion. First it was Senegal, then Teranga Lions were stripped off their crown in favor 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 proofs. 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.

But I can assure you that Senegal defended itself well” said Abdoulaye Sow, Secretary Genera..

Croatian coach Niko Kovac has stabilised Borussia, who are the only team in the Bundesliga to have won all four of their opening matches. If they want to finish this weekend at the top of the table, they must beat Werder Bremen tonight in the opening match of the Bundesliga’s fifth round. There is little spectacle at Signal Iduna Park, and Kovac’s team have not scored as many goals this season as they did in previous campaigns. Their defence, however, has been rock-solid, conceding just twice.##TWITTER_
