CAF announce final decision on postponed Wydad-Kaizer Chiefs CL clash

The CAF Champions League encounter between Wydad Casablanca and Kaizer Chiefs will now happen in Burkina Faso after the Moroccan government refused to grant the South Africans an exemption to enter the country.

The Group A tie was supposed to be played last week in Casablanca but the logistics issue saw the date and venue changed.

According to CAF, the game will now be played at 4 August Stadium in Ouagadougou.

The decision follows after Wydad’s proposal to use Al-Salam Stadium in Cairo as the venue for the postponed match was turned down by the Egyptian FA.

The continental body also announced the final details for the match between CR Belouizdad vs. Mamelodi Sundowns which was also supposed to happen in Morocco.

The CAF Organising Committee of Interclub Competition has released its verdict on the following matters:
