Al Ahly Files Official Complaint Against AS FAR Following Champions League Clash
Cairo, Egypt – Egyptian football giant Al Ahly SC is lodging an official complaint with the Confederation of African Football (CAF) against Morocco’s AS FAR ( الجيش الملكي ) following a contentious CAF Champions League group stage match held in Rabat on [insert date based on the provided tweets].
Al Ahly alleges that its players were subjected to numerous assaults throughout the game, including the presence of dangerous objects on the field. Videos are being compiled as evidence to support their claims. Reports indicate that Al Ahly player Mahmoud Hassan “Trezeguet” was injured after being hit by projectiles thrown from the stands.
“We are demanding that CAF take decisive action against AS FAR,” stated a source within Al Ahly. “The safety of our players, staff, and management was compromised. The events that transpired nearly spiraled out of control.”
The match, which ended in a 1-1 draw, was fraught with tension. A disallowed goal for AS FAR sparked a confrontation between players, resulting in a stoppage of play. Fans reportedly threw bottles and other objects onto the pitch, disrupting the flow of the game and further escalating tensions. Eyewitness accounts and social media posts allege AS FAR players attempted to retrieve the dangerous objects from Al Ahly players and hide them from the referees.
Al Ahly coach, Jes Thorup, expressed his dissatisfaction with the refereeing decisions, including a controversial penalty awarded to AS FAR. He also criticized the behavior of some fans, stating he considered withdrawing his team from the match due to safety concerns. “I did not like the behavior of the crowd throwing water bottles at Al Ahly players, and I did not know whether to withdraw the players from the field to protect them. Please, do not spoil the atmosphere of football by attacking the players.”
Despite the controversy, the draw allows Al Ahly to maintain its lead in the group standings, albeit by a narrow margin. The club now awaits CAF’s response to their complaint. The return leg in Cairo is highly anticipated and potentially fraught with tension.
