Morocco suspended by CAS decision
We could experience a very important day in the endless legal battle for the attribution of CAN 2025. “Start of the game at the Court of Arbitration for Sport”writes the Senegalese press soberly. The two federations will meet in Lausanne today before the Court of Arbitration for Sport. Nobody has forgotten the scenario of the CAN 2025 final and the two parties as well as CAF will present their arguments before three referees. A moment which promises to be decisive since the CAS must now resolve an extremely rare situation. On the one hand, Morocco defends a strict reading of the CAF regulations: a team which leaves the field without authorization from the referee must be declared a loser by forfeit with a score of 3-0. On the other hand, Senegal obviously has its own line of defense. In any case, the Moroccan press remains tense until the decision is announced. Moroccan media The 360 ​​Sports released a very long paper with numerous literary references, but the bottom line remains the same: Morocco claims and wants to maintain its victory. “La Fontaine might have recognized something in this story. La Cigale Sénégalaise sang a lot around the finale. But when the legal wind came, we had to return to the regulations. And in front of her, an Ant of Moroccan nationality, obviously. Not very talkative, not very spectacular, but with this terrible fault for a Cicada: she reads texts. And she reads them to the end. The Cicada therefore came down from its tree. And the Ant had already opened the regulations”writes the Moroccan media. We will perhaps have the first elements of an answer this Thursday.
Concern remains at Manchester City
The Skyblues are walking on eggshells at the moment, quail eggs even. With the huge sanction that could fall on the club due to the hundreds of infractions committed, the future of some players is up in the air. Just read the article from Daily Mail to understand that the situation is absolutely not trivial. “Some City players have been in regular contact with their representatives over the past week and a half, peppering them with often unanswered questions, clearly and understandably confused about their immediate futurewe can read in the English newspaper. Agents discussed clauses in contracts, the options held by the club and player, and whether a harsh sanction amounting to relegation could provide grounds for tearing up their contracts. But they also insist on a wait-and-see approach before the call. » In any case, this issue has not yet stopped being talked about.
One element poses a problem for PSG to stay at the Parc des Princes
If Paris wants to stay at the Parc des Princes, changes are to be expected in addition to the purchase of the stadium. Except that the matter is not as simple as hoped. For example, PSG would like to increase the capacity of its stadium to 70,000 seats, but for that, the roof of the Park would have to be broken. The problem is that Sophie Taillibert, daughter of Roger, the stadium’s architect, believes that this would distort the stadium and its architecture. On the side of the management of the Parisian club, we calm things down, explaining that at the moment the project is not as advanced and that a discussion is planned with Sophie Taillibert. But what is certain is that Paris has not finished debating and struggling with the Parc des Princes issue, unless PSG decides to play elsewhere.
