Africa-Press – Seychelles. <\/strong><\/span>Morocco will play host to the final of the 2022 caf champions league on May 30, a Confederation of African Football (CAF) official confirmed on Tuesday.<\/b><\/p>\n

This is after Senegal withdrew its bid to host the game.<\/p>\n

“CAF received offers from Senegal and Morocco and, after the subsequent withdrawal of the Senegalese offer, Morocco was awarded the organising rights,” the spokesman said.<\/p>\n

CAF did not specify the city that would host the game.<\/p>\n

Egypt’s Al Ahly, ten-time African champions, won the final of the previous edition last July against South Africa’s Kaizer Chiefs (3-0) at Casablanca’s Mohammed-V stadium.<\/p>\n

The decision to hold a second consecutive Champions League final in Morocco will not sit well with the defending champions, who are likely to face Moroccan club Wydad Casablanca in the final.<\/p>\n

Al Ahly, hoping to reach the final and claim a third consecutive title, had last weekend asked CAF president Patrice Motsepe to host the final in a neutral country, but to no avail.<\/p>\n

In the first leg of the semi-finals last weekend, Wydad beat Petro Luanda 3-1 in Angola, while Al Ahly won 4-0 at home in Cairo against Entente de Setif of Algeria.<\/p>\n

The return matches are scheduled in Casablanca and Algiers this Friday and Saturday.<\/p>\n
