Al-Ahly club sent a letter today to the Egyptian Football Association, requesting the escalation of the Champions League final stadium crisis to the International Football Association.
In a statement, the Red Genie confirmed that he wanted the aforementioned match to be held in a neutral stadium away from the four teams that are currently competing in the second leg of the semi-finals of the tournament.
This comes in response to CAF’s recent decision to choose a specific stadium to host this event for the second year in a row, which has not been done by any continental federation before.
Especially since the decision was issued very late, and following the number of competing teams was reduced to only four. The same decision now serves a particular club, which will play the final match if it qualifies at its home stadium and among its fans.
