Markaz-Morocco hosts CAF Champions League final

The Confederation of African Football (CAF) announced on Monday that Morocco will host the CAF Champions League final on May 30 for the second consecutive season.

“CAF” said in a statement on its website that “in view of the previous decision on June 17, 2019 to hold the final match from one confrontation, the Federation received two offers from the Moroccan Federation and its Senegalese counterpart to host the final, but the latter withdrew its offer to host Morocco in the final match.”

And “K” indicated that “there are current discussions to return to the old system by holding the final from two home and away matches instead of one confrontation.”

Al-Ahly of Egypt, the defending champion in the last two editions, is close to qualifying for the final of the most prominent continental club championship for the third consecutive season, after its 4-0 victory over its guest ES Setif of Algeria on Saturday, while the return match will be held next week.

Morocco’s Wydad returned with a 3-1 victory from Angola’s Petro Atletico stadium, before hosting the return leg on Friday.
