CAIRO, Egypt (Reuters) - Egypt's national football team has confirmed that it has not received any formal notification of the arrest of Waleed Azzaro by a decision of the African Union's disciplinary committee for two matches.
The Egyptian Football Federation received a letter from the African Football Confederation informing them of the arrest of Moroccan Walid Azzaro and the penalty of Al Ahli $ 20,000 due to the events of the Red and Tunisian match in the final leg of the African Champions League held at the Egyptian army stadium in Burj Al Arab last Friday.
The CAF disciplinary committee also decided to summon Frenchman Patrice Cartiron for a hearing due to his comments following the match, in which he reported being assaulted by an Esperance player.
A member of the Ahli technical staff, who declined to be named due to the decision to ban media statements until the end of the African final, said that they knew by telephone that there had already been a decision to stop Azzaro, but they would study it well before announcing their decision. .
