CAF Sidelines Moroccan and Tunisian Officials from 2019 Africa Cup of Nations Duties

Moroccans and Tunisians would have been ousted from the organizing committees of CAN 2019. On this subject, Le360 writes: "the representatives of Morocco and Tunisia within the various commissions of the Confederation of African Football (CAF) will not be part of the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt (June 21-July 19)".

Let’s not forget that this decision comes after the events of the Champions League final between "Wydad de Casablanca" (WAC) and "Espérance de Tunis" (EST), events for which the CAF (after a fight engaged by the Moroccan parties in their right) decided to replay a final already played by withdrawing a title already granted to "Espérance de Tunis".

The word "scandal" is, of course, an understatement to describe this story. Moreover, it continues; Wydad hopes, now, to be designated as the Champion, without playing the final. With a consequent argument... But if this does not work, the final will be replayed, on neutral ground, just after CAN 2019.

In any case, given the serious disputes between Moroccans and Tunisians, the CAF has decided to exclude both of them from the CAN, to avoid any dissension during this African football event.
