In a joint statement the Ministry of Youth and Sports, Confederation of African Football (CAF) and the Egyptian FA (EFA) have announced that no fans will be allowed in the Champions League final and that the final will be held behind closed doors.
It was announced earlier this week that CAF had agreed to allow 2000 fans inside the Cairo International Stadium to watch the Champions League final between Al Ahly and Zamalek.
However, Africa’s football governing body announced in an official statement that, after much deliberation with the EFA, that they have decided to play the game behind closed doors.
The main reason behind this decision, as revealed on CAF’s website, is to avoid the spread of the coronavirus, which is currently on the rise in most regions around the world.
The historic clash between Al Ahly and Zamalek is set to take place next Wednesday November 27th at 9:00pm local time.
