TASS has not issued its final decision regarding the new Nahdet Berkane – Algeria shirts

Contrary to what some believe, the Court of Arbitration for Sport (TASS) has not issued its final decision regarding the issue of the shirts of the Moroccan club Nahdet Berkane.

Yesterday evening, Friday, the Moroccan press went wild and misled public opinion in its country, misleading it into believing that the International Court of Arbitration for Sport, which is headquartered in the Swiss city of Lausanne, had decided… Her decision Finally, with regard to the lawsuit filed by the Algerian Football Federation against the Confederation of African Football“KAF” About his adoption of the shirt of the Moroccan club Nahdet Berkane, which includes a political slogan represented in an incorrect map.

But the truth is that the Court of Arbitration for Sport (TASS), yesterday, Friday, took a decision to reject the appeal submitted by the Algerian club, Ittihad Algeria, on May 8th, which included an urgent request to freeze the final of the African Confederation Cup.

And he will collect ultimate The African Confederation Cup for Football, between the Egyptian club Zamalek and the Moroccan club RS Berkane, where the first leg will be held tomorrow, Sunday, in Cairo, while the return match will take place a week later in Morocco.

Ittihad Alger Club had appealed to the “TASS” against the decision of the Appeals Committee of the Confederation of African Football, which confirmed the qualification of RS Berkane Club at the expense of the Algerian club USM Algiers, with a back-and-forth victory on the mat, with a score of (3-0), in the semi-finals of the continental competition.

In contrast, a case file Shirts Nahdet Berkane Club is still present at the Lausanne Sports Court and will be placed, later, before the table for study by the competent judges.

The “TASS” decision will not be retroactive!

It may take a long time to study the file, and the issuance of a ruling may be delayed for several months. Then, even if the ruling is issued in favor of the Algerian party, the decision will not be his Retroactive effect. This means that the Confederation Cup final will not be repeated and that the Ittihad Al-Capital Club will not benefit from anything from a sporting standpoint, except, perhaps, the cancellation of financial sanctions or exclusion from continental participation that it may be subjected to in the coming days by “CAF.”

In the event that the “TASS” issues its final decision in favor of… Algerian side, It will oblige the Confederation of African Football to cancel the official approval of the Nahdet Berkane club shirt, which includes a political slogan, represented by a fictitious map, that includes the territories of Morocco and the occupied territories of Western Sahara.
