JOHANNESBURG - Egypt, Tunisia and possibly a Middle East country will be candidates to replace Cameroon as hosts of the 2019/2020 CAF Champions League semi-finals and final.
There were also concerns seasonal downpours in the central African country could affect the match schedule, earmarked for dates during September that have not been finalised. Champions League semi-finalists Raja Casablanca and Wydad Casablanca from Morocco might object to such a decision, though, as they face Egyptian opponents Zamalek and Al Ahly.
OBJECTION WOULD BE IRONIC A Moroccan objection would be ironic as the capital of the kingdom, Rabat, will host the semi-finals and final of the second-tier CAF Confederation Cup, which includes two local sides. However, Ahmad and his CAF executives have unhappy memories of the Stade Olympique in the Tunisian capital.
