The Senegalese Football Federation (FSF) lodged an appeal at the Court of Arbitration for Sport on Wednesday against the decision to strip them of their African Cup of Nations title after the final result was overturned.
Senegal were ruled to have forfeited the game in Rabat on January 18 because they walked off the pitch in protest at a potentially decisive penalty awarded to opponents Morocco.
