The Football Association nominates the first four African participants

The Egyptian Football Association decided to send the names of the first four clubs in the Premier League competition to the African Confederation to participate in the next two African club championships and to contact the CAF to extend the deadline for submission of names of clubs, which expires next Tuesday at the end of this month, to solve the situation.

A source said, Laila Kora, that the decision of the Football Association is similar to last season, given that this season’s Egypt Cup will end in a moment close to the launch of the new version of the African Championship, and this This translates into the participation of the first and second place winners in the African League Championship, while the third and fourth place winners will participate. In the confederation.

The source, who declined to be identified, added that the request for the deadline occurred because second place was not decided except in the last round of the league competition, and there is a possibility that the competition for the fourth place is also extended to the last round if it is not decided today during the Egypt cleanup match with Smouha.

The request of the Egyptian Federation arises from the possibility that CAF will wait until the end of the league championship on November 6, due to the possibility that Zamalek will win it, which, if it happens, may participate with him in the tournament although your league ranking comes after first and second place.
