Patrice Motsepe, President of the Confederation of African Football (CAF), is scheduled to hold a press conference next Sunday at the football body's headquarters in the Egyptian capital, Cairo.
This move comes days after Senegal appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) to challenge a decision by CAF's Appeals Committee, which deemed the Senegalese national team to have withdrawn and forfeited their match against Morocco (3-0) in the Africa Cup of Nations final.
Reports indicate that Motsepe's press conference will take place immediately after a meeting of the CAF Executive Committee, for which Secretary-General Véron Mosengo-Omba has extended invitations to all members.
CAF has not yet disclosed the agenda for the meeting, which will be held at its headquarters in Cairo, as it awaits the decisions and recommendations that will emerge from it.
