Liberia: Appeal of the Liberia Football Federation Against CAF Rejected By Cas

The Confédération Africaine de Football (CAF) received on November 27th a letter addressed by the Court of Arbitration of Sport (CAS) advising about an appeal lodged and registered by CAS, initiated by the Liberia Football Federation against CAF, requesting the cancellation of a resolution following the decision of the Extraordinary General Assembly of CAF held on September 03rd in Seychelles (statutes amendment proposed by the Algerian Football Federation regarding the CAF Presidency), but also relative to the approval of this amendment to the proposed statutes by the CAF Executive Committee, and finally to the cancellation of a particular procedure in CAF circular dated November 08th regarding the validation of candidates by the Executive Committee for available seats at an election.

CAS requested CAF to reply by November 29th to provide an urgent decision by November 30th. CAF has been surprised by the extreme rapidity for which this procedure has been engaged, not allowing CAF to dispose of a reasonable delay, damaging the chances of a fair trial.
