The Confederation of African Football (CAF) confirmed on Tuesday that it will hold the Champions League final in Casablanca’s Mohammed V stadium, despite Al Ahly’s protests.

Wydad (WAC) and Egypt’s Al-Ahly are set to face off for the victory title on May 30, starting at 8 p.m.

CAF expects the final game between both teams to be one of the most thrilling encounters.

The final game will be shown live across Africa, the Middle East, Asia, and Europe, CAF said in its press release.

Al Ahly said that it will continue proceeding with its complaint to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) in order to hold Champions League final on neutral ground, according to the club’s press release on Twitter.

The Egyptian club called on CAS to speak on the case ahead of the final game’s scheduled date in order to provide equal opportunities for both competing teams.
