Hesport learned from reliable sources that the Disciplinary Committee of the Confederation of African Football (CAF) suspended Algerian Adil Amrouche, coach of the Tanzanian national team, for 8 matches and fined him $10,000 following his statements against the Confederation and the Moroccan football federation.

The same source reported that the CAF Disciplinary Committee decided to punish Amroush due to his accusations that the Royal Football League controlled the corridors of the continental system, inadvertently accusing the organization of corruption.

Amrouche had provoked Morocco with statements in which he claimed that the Royal Football League controlled the corridors of African football, by choosing the dates and referees of the matches.

For his part, President of the Tanzanian Football Association Karia Wallace disavowed Amrouchs’s accusations in previous statements, and stressed that his country respects Morocco and the efforts made by the Football Federation to develop the game on the African continent.

The Moroccan national team defeated Tanzania in the first round of Group Six by three clean goals, and it awaits two upcoming matches against the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Zambia.
