Mohamed Magrouf, spokesman for the Moroccan Football Federation, responded to the accusations by saying that the Moroccan Federation, headed by Faouzi Lakjaa, took control of the Confederation of African Football (CAF).
Mogrouf went out in comments on the “Ontime Sports 1” screen in the early hours of Saturday morning: “There are inaccuracies about Morocco’s control of CAF, so let’s see what the results of Moroccan clubs have achieved last season.”
He added: “Wydad was wronged by Esperance in coming and going in the final of the champions during the last version. Also, the Zamalek team won the Confederation title, despite the complaint of the Borkan team from the arbitration point of view, specifically in the fact that the Zamalek goalkeeper was not fired during the penalty shootout.”
On the schedule announced by the Moroccan Football League, he commented: “This issue is an internal matter, we have delays due to the Corona virus, when we set the schedule, the basis for relying on the final decision of the African Union regarding the dates of the Champions League and Confederation semi-finals matches.”
He continued: “Although the African Union announced the dates for the Champions League and Confederation matches, they are not final due to the current conditions after the Coronavirus pandemic, as well as the closure of airports.”
He ended: “The Moroccan league table, after being amended, is subject to a sufficient decision for whether or not it is approved.”
The two matches of Al-Ahly against Wydad and Zamalek were supposed to be held against Raja in the last week of this month, provided that the two return sites would be held in Egypt, specifically on the second and third of next October.
Moroccan reports revealed that “CAF” will take a decision to amend the two semi-finals to be held in October instead of September.
Al-Ahly climbed to the golden square after defeating South African champion Sundowns with a score of (3-1) in the two round-trip matches, in contrast, Zamalek succeeded in eliminating the defending champion Esperance by beating him (3-2) on aggregate.
On the other hand, the Pyramids team will play in the African Confederation competition, where it is scheduled to face the Horia Conakry team of Guinea in the round of four, provided that the meeting of the second party will be between Hassania Agadir and Nahdet Berkane of Morocco.
