It seems that the major manipulations by the Moroccan side, at the level of the Confederation of African Football (CAF), are worrying the club Zamalek Egyptian. Who will face his counterpart Nahdet Berkane from Morocco in the final of the African Confederation Cup. Especially after the recent events and the issue of the Moroccan competitor with Union of Algeria. In the semi-finals of the continental competition.
The Confederation of African Football had appointed a Tunisian refereeing team to use video technology during the two-legged matches of the final round of the African Confederation Cup. This was categorically rejected by the Egyptian club, Zamalek. Given that the head coach of RS Berkane, Moin Chaabani, is a Tunisian coach, it is unreasonable to appoint a refereeing team of the same nationality as the coach of one of the final parties.
The Egyptian Club had issued a statement in recent days. Regarding this appointment, he said: “The Zamalek club management sent an official objection to the Confederation of African Football regarding the appointment of Tunisian referees for video technology. Whether main referees or members of the video technology crew, in the two matches of Morocco’s RS Berkane in the two-legged final of the Confederation Championship, scheduled for the 12th and 19th of May.
He added: “In its objection, Zamalek Club demanded that the African Union reconsider the selection of video technology referees in the two-legged matches of the final, so that the embarrassment of the Tunisian referees is lifted. Who may feel embarrassed when making some decisions, which may be marred by disagreement or controversy. Which may lead to a negative impact on the outcome of the home and away matches.”

The champions were the Moroccan League and CAF with distinction, and qualification to the final was awarded to the Moroccan team.

In order to rise up against all these transgressions, from the Moroccan party, which has become the ultimate authority within Motsepe’s body.
