Rabat – The Moroccan Football Association Royal Army (as far as) submitted a complaint on the Confederation of African Football (CAF) against Egyptian Pyramid FC on Wednesday via the ticket allocation during their last game.
During her game, which took place in Cairo on Tuesday, the complaint does not accuse Pyramids to provide enough tickets for Fars fans. The game was part of the first leg of the quarterfinal of the CAF Champions League.

“During the technical meeting before the game on March 31, Pyramid FC informed us that only 100 tickets would be allocated to our fans. This does not correspond to the CAF rules that at least 5% of the stadium’s capacity must be handed over to the supporters of the visiting team,” said Far in one explanation.
In this case, the Egyptian side should have assigned 1,500 tickets for the Moroccan fans because the Air Defense stage has a capacity of 30,000 seats.
The Moroccan Association It also indicated that it had contacted both CAF and Pyramid FC to request a correction. CAF issued an official guideline in which Pyramid FC was instructed to provide more tickets to avoid security risks. However, the Egyptian club added only 100 more tickets, so that many distant could not enter the stadium.
The match, which ended with a 4-1 win for Pyramid FC, was characterized by chaos outside the stadium, since many farbers were denied entry.
Far is now looking for measures from CAF to address the problem and to ensure fair treatment for visiting fans in future games.
