The African Football Confederation (CAF) decided this Wednesday to postpone the match between the Egyptian Zamalek and his Moroccan counterpart Raja Casablanca in the second leg of the African Champions League semi-final until October 31.
The decision was made after the Moroccan Ministry of Health refused the Al Raja delegation to travel to Cairo to fight the second leg, due to the infection of 8 players from the team’s ranks with the new Corona virus.
The African Union Emergency Committee held a meeting to discuss the request made by the Raja club management to postpone the match that was scheduled for Saturday due to the infection of several of its players with “Covid-19”.
