Egypt’s Al-Ahly decided to come to Casablanca 4 days ahead of the final game against Wydad, part of the African Champions League (CAF), which is set to take place on May 30.
The Al-Ahly delegation, led by the club’s president, Mahmoud El-Khatib, will travel to Casablanca on Wednesday, May 25 in order to prepare for the final game.
Al Ahly is set to face off against Wydad (WAC) for the victory title, which will take place in Casablanca’s Mohammed V stadium, starting at 8 p.m.
Al-Ahly, the holder of the African title in the last two editions, reached the final following its victory against Algeria’s ES Setif (6-2) in the semi-finals.
Wydad also secured its ticket to the final, after beating Petro Atletico (3-1 first leg, 1-1 second leg).
Previously, Al Ahly has shown its disapproval of CAF’s final decision regarding the sporting event’s host country.
“The club is in dispute with CAF as their decision over the Champions League final venue was unfair, and goes against all the FIFA regulations and the Olympic charter,” said Al Ahly in its press release on Twitter, adding that the decision was announced at a late stage of the competition.
