• Al Ahly are continuing to take the fight to CAF as they seek to get the Champions League final moved from Morocco
• Al Ahly have urged the Egyptian Football Association to bid to host the final of the CAF Champions League
• Al Ahly have approached the Court of Arbitration for Sport to ask them to intervene in the dispute against CAF's decision

Al Ahly are relentless in their efforts to get the CAF Champions League final moved from Morocco.

The 2021/22 CAF Champions League final will be held in Casablanca, Morocco, on 30 May, with Al Ahly and Wydad Casablanca favourites to qualify for the title decider.

The decision to award Morocco hosting rights has caused an uproar among football fans and on social media, with many accusing CAF of being corrupt.

Al Ahly also took the fight to CAF by approaching the Court of Arbitration for Sport, claiming that CAF were unfair in handing Morocco the chance to host the final for the second year in a row. CAF defended the decision, saying that no other nation bid for the rights. CAF are also considering returning to a two-legged format for the final, to avoid controversy in the future.

Al Ahly have now asked the Egyptian Football Association (EFA) to assist them in their fight against CAF, iDiski Times reported. The team made an urgent appeal to the EFA, asking that they bid to host the final as well.

They accused CAF of not announcing earlier that Senegal had withdrawn their big and allowing other countries to submit theirs.

The EFA have lodged an official complaint to CAF regarding the decision and also directed a letter towards the organisation, asking for a neutral venue to be chosen for the final, King FUT reported.

Al Ahly will use the correspondence between CAF and the EFA as part of their evidence submitted to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.

CAF President Dr Patrice Motsepe has come under a lot of criticism for the CAF’s venue choice but Motsepe himself was said to be upset by the decision of the executive committee that voted for Morocco.
