Afcon: Court of Arbitration for Sport rejects Comoros’ case against Cameroon

The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) has dismissed appeals from the Comoros Football Federation (FFC) over Cameroon’s involvement in the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations.

Comoros lodged the complaint after the Indomitable Lions were retained in the continental showpiece even though they’d been stripped of the hosting rights by Caf.

In their first appeal on January 28, they claimed the continent’s governing body hadn’t enforced the law regarding the Central African nation’s failure to exercise their hosting rights.

On February 11, the FFC appealed to CAS against Caf’s decision to allow the Cameroonian side to participate at the Nations Cup and award them the hosting rights for 2021.
