“CAF” uses tricks in its case with the Algerian Union – New Algeria

It seems that the Confederation of African Football (CAF) wants to buy time in the case brought against it by the Algerian Football Association (FAF) at the Court of Arbitration for Sport (TASS). Related to the controversial confrontation between the Algerian club USM Algiers and Morocco’s RS Berkane for the semi-finals of the Confederation Cup.

It has benefited Reports Yesterday evening, Saturday, several days ago, CAF responded to a correspondence with…Altas“Related to determining his position on the issue. which was filed against him Algerian Football Federationabout allowing the Moroccan club Nahdet Berkane to play the two semi-final matches of the Confederation Cup in shirts bearing a “political slogan.”

The Algerian club, Ittihad Al-Asimah, had objected to CAF over the transfer Shirts Nahdet Berkane players on a wrong map. Which is represented by a map of Morocco, plus the occupied territories of Western Sahara.

But the African Football Association rejected the Algerian club’s objection. In return, it granted Winning on the mat Nahdet Berkane Club defeated Ittihad Al-Asimah, back and forth, with a score of (3-0).

In order to gain time in this dispute, CAF responded to the Court of Arbitration for Sport’s correspondence with a request to cancel the urgent nature of the case. This is under the pretext that the CAF needs time to prepare its defence.

Eliminating the urgent nature of the case includes the necessity of appointing three judges to study the file and decide on it instead of one judge.

In the face of this new situation, any party to the case will have the right to object to one or two of the three judges appointed by the “TASS” and demand that he or they be changed.

Accordingly, CAF may resort to objecting to at least one judge, which will prompt the Court of Arbitration for Sport, which is based in the Swiss city of Lausanne, to appoint a new group of judges to hear the case. This will allow the Confederation of African Football to gain more time, which may extend for several additional weeks.

It is worth noting that the final of the African Confederation of Football Cup is officially programmed, between Nahdet Berkane and Zamalek of Egypt. So, the 12th of May was set for the first leg in Morocco, and the 19th of the same month for the return match in Cairo.
