Expert: Volcanic renaissance avoids improvisation

Mustafa Yakhlef, President of the Moroccan Center for Sports Law, expressed his opinion on the decision of the Competitions Committee of the Confederation of African Football (CAF), deeming Ennahda El Berkaneh Club victorious over its host USM Algiers, 3-0, in the first leg of the CAF Confederation Cup semi-final, after the Algerian Customs Administration confiscated T-shirts of the national football representative decorated with the map of the Kingdom.

Ikhlef said in a statement exclusively to Hesport: “The administration of Nahdet Berkane dealt with the incident according to the law and without improvisation, in front of the Algerian party, which the pride blamed.” Moreover, despite all the harassment it was subjected to and its detention at the airport for nearly ten hours, no violations were recorded against the Moroccan team.”

The same spokesman added: “The President of Nahdet Berkane was in constant contact with representatives of the Royal Moroccan Football Federation, who demanded the team’s legitimate right to recover the shirts. The players also conducted their training in a normal atmosphere before the match, and came to the stadium, and here it became clear that the Berkane team was applying the law.” With its details.”

The same legal expert continued: “When the Capital Union did not comply with the CAF decision before the match, it lost the confrontation, and there will be additional sanctions against it from the competent authorities.” Therefore, I stress that any club needs managers who understand the law so that what happened to the Capital Union does not happen to it.”

CAF issued its decision, a copy of which was received by Hesport, confirming that the Algerian team lost the match by 3 goals to nothing, after refusing to play the match with RS Berkane in the official shirts of the national football representative.

The decision explained that the case would be referred to the jury in the disciplinary committee to impose sanctions on the Algerian team, given that it refused to confront RS Berkane, who was present at the stadium despite all the harassment to which it was subjected.

The body that governs football in the “African Continent” also decided that the return match will be held on time, next Sunday, at the municipal stadium in the city of Berkane.
