Earlier, Sports Brief reported that Al Ahly will have no choice but to contest the CAF Champions League final in Morocco on Monday.

The Egyptian side were hoping to have the final against Wydad Casablanca postponed and the venue moved after they appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).

Sadly for the Egyptian giants, CAS ruled in favour of African football’s governing body, IOL reported.
