In the case opposing the Senegalese Football Federation (FSF) to the African Football Confederation (CAF) and the Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF), there is currently no official confirmation to publicly attest to the submission of the defense memorandum by the Moroccan party to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).

The CAS had set May 7, 2026, as the deadline for the submission of this document. At the expiration of this deadline, no statement from the Court, no publication from the FRMF, nor any public notification confirming the receipt of the memorandum has been made available.

Absence of Memorandum Submission

Generally, when a document is officially submitted in an ongoing procedure, the CAS issues an acknowledgment of receipt as part of its institutional communication. However, in this case, no official information has been published regarding this matter by the deadline.

This situation raises procedural questions, particularly regarding compliance with the deadlines set by the arbitration body. If the deadline is indeed exceeded without a valid submission recognized by the Court, the issue of potential forfeiture could arise, according to the rules applicable to the ongoing procedure.
