Al Ahly has written to the Egypt FA to appeal to the Confederation of African Football (CAF) over the two-match ban given to Moroccan striker Walid Azaro for ripping his jersey during Al Ahly’s win over Esperance of Tunisia last Friday.
CAF has not cleared the air on why the ban was imposed, stating simply it was breaching its disciplinary code during the first leg of the African Champions League on 2 November and the ban means he will miss the second leg of the final on Friday.
The club’s coach Patrice Carteron has been “invited to appear before the disciplinary board for a hearing regarding allegations of unsporting behaviour”.
Ahly has also been fined US$20,000 for the same incident.
