Africa Sports has taken its dispute with the Ivorian football federation (FIF) to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS). This move comes after the CAS dismissed the FIF's decision not to grant ISCA promotion to Ligue 1, and subsequently, the FIF announced the rise of ISCA to Ligue 1, demoting Africa Sports to Ligue 2.
The dispute began when the FIF refused to grant ISCA promotion to Ligue 1, prompting ISCA to take the matter to the CAS. The CAS ruled in favor of ISCA, ordering the FIF to restore ISCA's rights and cancel the match that promoted Africa Sports to Ligue 1. However, Africa Sports has refused to accept this decision, citing inconsistencies and violations of the texts and procedures.
Africa Sports has referred the matter to the CAS, seeking to express its disagreement with the decision to cancel its promotion to Ligue 1. The club argues that the FIF's decision is unfair and that the CAS's ruling has been misinterpreted. Africa Sports is seeking a reversal of the decision, which would allow them to maintain their position in Ligue 1.
The CAS will now review the case and make a decision on the matter. If the CAS rules in favor of Africa Sports, it could lead to a reversal of the FIF's decision, potentially reinstating Africa Sports to Ligue 1. However, if the CAS upholds the FIF's decision, Africa Sports will be forced to accept its demotion to Ligue 2.
The dispute between Africa Sports and the FIF has taken a new turn with the club's decision to take the matter to the CAS. The outcome of this case will have significant implications for the Ivorian football league and the teams involved. As the CAS reviews the case, fans and stakeholders will be eagerly awaiting the decision, which will ultimately determine the fate of Africa Sports and the structure of the Ivorian football league.
