With just two days left in the league, second place is still undecided, and whether it will be for Zamalek or Pyramids.
Zamalek tied today, Thursday, with Wadi Degla in matchday 32 of the league. A tie means that the team fell to third place by deducting three points from the team balance, as decided as a penalty for the team for not attending the Al-Ahly match in the first round.
But although Zamalek’s fate in second place is not in their hands only now, the white team has another opportunity to participate in the African Champions League for next season, even if they do not get second place.
How?
At the beginning, let’s clarify that the Egyptian Federation is one of the 12 federations that have the right to participate. Two teams In the African Champions League, and the same in the Confederacy.
The list of the CAF Champions League is clear. Item five of the fourth item on the tournament list says “No country may participate more than two teams in the CAF Champions League.”
The article says “In the event that the champion of the African Champions League of a federation has the right to participate in two teams, only the champion of the African Champions League and the champion of the league will participate in the tournament. In this specific case, the runner-up will not participate in the CAF Champions League. “
This means that if Zamalek won the CAF Champions League without taking the league title, and Pyramids won the league title, Pyramids would not participate in the African Champions League, but the seat would go to Zamalek, along with Al-Ahly. (the league champion).
And that is the only case of Zamalek that makes him participate in the African Champions League next season without winning the league title. To achieve the African Champions League.
What if the pyramids won the Confederation Cup? Do you have the right to participate in the African Champions League next season, as in Europe?
A new question makes us clarify another part of the list, but this time the regulations of the Confederation Cup.
Last March, Abdel Moneim Bah, general secretary of the African Football Confederation (CAF), stated that there is “A new decision to participate in the Confederation Cup champion and runner-up this season in the Champions League next season.”But so far, this decision has not been adopted and it has not been included in the list of the Confederation or the Champions League.
Article 13 of the fourth point of the Confederation list says that “Tournament champions must participate in the tournament next season, unless they participate in the African Champions League.”What happened to Zamalek this season.
So Pyramids got the Confederacy, while not winning second place in the league means not participating in the CAF Champions League next season. Unless the current statute is modified to accommodate Bah’s comments.
