The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) in Switzerland heard Senegal's appeal on Thursday against the decision to strip the team of its African Cup of Nations title. France 24 says the hearing was held behind closed doors.
Al Jazeera reports that CAS will rule within days.
The Confederation of African Football took the trophy from Senegal about nine months ago, according to France 24. It acted after Senegal's players walked off the pitch to protest a penalty in the final. France 24 describes the final as chaotic.
The case pits Senegal against Morocco, the opponent in that final.
