After the final whistle on Monday evening, the dissatisfaction of the administrative staff and the players of the team of the Egyptian club Al-Ahli was evident, as evidenced by the controversial throw of one of the players of the main squad.
Morocco Wydad won the African Champions League title with a 2-0 victory over Al Ahly of Egypt on Monday night, in a match that saw much controversy. The controversy began with the decision of the Confederation of African Football to hold the final match in Casablanca, which gave Wydad a big advantage, which showed up in the final match with a large crowd.
The players and club president Mahmoud Al-Khatib were visibly unhappy with the coronation, with Al-Khatib still upset by the decision while speaking with the president of the African Football Confederation after the meeting. As the players left the field, a frame of Al-Ahli and Egypt star Amr Al-Sulaiya, who decided to throw his silver medal on the ground before leaving the stadium, surfaced.
Before descending into the underground tunnel, Al-Sulaiya strangely threw the medal on the ground, and it remained on the field until a security officer picked it up and took it with him. Most of the Al Ahly players also removed the silver medal after their coronation and chose to carry it in their hands. Reactions to Al-Sulaiya’s movement have varied, among Al-Ahli’s supporters because they saw it as a message expressing dissatisfaction with Kef’s decisions, while others disagreed with him because he “had no sportsmanship” .
