Books – Muhammad Hammam:

Mohamed Magrouf, spokesman for the Moroccan Football Federation, responded to the allegations by saying that the Moroccan Federation, led by Faouzi Lakjaa, took control of the African Football Confederation (CAF).

Mogrouf came out to comment on the “Ontime Sports 1” screen in the early hours of Saturday: “There are inaccuracies about Morocco’s control over CAF, so let’s see what the results of Moroccan clubs have achieved last season.”

He added: “Wydad was aggrieved by Esperance in the coming and going in the final of the champions during the last version. In addition, the Zamalek team won the Confederation title, despite the complaint of the Borkan team from the referee point of view, specifically in the fact that the Zamalek goalkeeper was not fired during the penalty shootout. “

On the calendar 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 calendar, the basis to base ourselves on the final decision of the African Union regarding the dates of the semifinal matches of the Champions League and the Confederacy “.

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 concluded: “The classification of the Moroccan league, after being modified, is subject to a sufficient decision to approve it or not.”

Al-Ahly’s two matches against Wydad and Zamalek were supposed to be held against Raja in the last week of this month, provided the two comeback sites were to take place in Egypt, specifically on October 2-3.

Moroccan reports revealed that “CAF” will make a decision to modify the two semifinals to be held in October instead of September.

Al-Ahly rose to the gold box after defeating South African champion Sundowns with a score of (3-1) in the two home-away matches, instead, Zamalek managed to eliminate defending champion Esperance by beating him (3-2) in the global.

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 16, provided that the match of the second match is between Hassania Agadir and Nahdet Berkane of Morocco.
