On Tuesday, the Confederation of African Football (CAF) announced the final hosting of the Champions League final between reigning champions Al Ahly of Egypt and Vidad Casablanca of Morocco at the Mohammed V Stadium in Casablanca.
CAF announced on its website that the match would take place on the evening of Monday 30 May at 19:00 GMT at the Wydad Stadium, after previous reports suggested that the final could take place in Rabat.
Al-Ahly was furious after the CAF’s decision to host the Champions League final in Morocco for the second year in a row and said he would play the final anywhere but would use the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
Kef defended himself and said that he received two successful files from Morocco and Senegal to host the final, then Senegal withdrew and Egypt did not advance.
The Continental Confederation, which has previously hinted that it is considering a return to the old system by playing a two-leg final, has announced that the Confederation Cup final will take place on May 20 in Nigeria.
Moroccan NS Berkane will play South African Orlando Pirates for the title of the least powerful club, with the final also kicking off at 19:00 GMT.
