Just under two months ago, the Senegalese Football Federation (FSF) displayed a strong sense of unity. This solidarity emerged after the appeals jury of the Confederation of African Football (CAF) made the decision to strip the Lions de la Teranga of their African champion title, subsequently awarding it to Morocco. The governing body had rallied firmly behind its president, Abdoulaye Fall, to prepare an appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
