Al-Kaf .. What are the legal scenarios for the final of Esperance and Al-Wadad?

Magdi Saidi - Tunisia

The final of the 2019 African Champions League final between Esperance of Tunisia and Morocco's Oued Casablanca will be the undisputed sporting issue of 2019. After the sessions, the Confederation of African Football (CAF) failed to decipher the final and final title match between the African Union and the Court Sports (TASS).

The African Union reopened the debate when it sent two letters to the Tunisian Football Federation and to the management of Esperance to invite them to a meeting of the Disciplinary Committee on Wednesday, during which the final crisis will be reviewed by referring the file to the Disciplinary Committee, 2019.

"In order to preserve all your rights, the Disciplinary Committee would like the Tunisian Union to provide its full support, its disbursements and the written position of the file no later than August 6, 2019."

And the conversion of the case from the Executive Committee to the Committee of Discipline Mixing Kef leaves the file of the final of the Champions again, pending the outcome of the hearing Wednesday, which holds several legal scenarios according to sports law experts.

A new stalemate
"The Confederation of African Football has put itself in a bind by making decisions that are not free of mass breaches, some in shape and the other in the original," said Anis Benmim, a sports conflict specialist.

"Al-Kaf will return in the final match to the first quarter, that is to say, the events of the May 31 match, according to the official reports, but with the provisions of the July 31 sports court, which will be Have direct repercussions on the decisions of the Disciplinary Committee at its forthcoming meeting. "

"The slap received by the CAF will force the Disciplinary Committee to avoid falling into the trap of misreading the original legal form, and will not take the decision to consider Wydad as a winner and reserve the match, which are the two main demands of the Moroccan team, And in this case the African Union will only have to acknowledge the withdrawal of Wydad because of the lack of video technique of the Assistant Government (VAR), and thus confirm the culmination of Esperance title. "

Responsibility of CAF
Moroccan footballer Khalil Boubhi said the African Football Confederation (CAF) had put Esperance and Al-Wadid in a dispute that was clear from the start that the first was due to the absence of Al-Far's technique, which was damaged by Wydad and prompted him to file an appeal with CAF to do so.

"Wydad has filed a complaint with CAF that includes an investigation to be launched into a fraudulent case, which is the absence of the mouse technique from the start, and not the disruptions of the device as promoted," Bouby told Al Jazeera Net. In that there is the technique of adjudication that was available at the first meeting in Morocco. "

The legal expert expected that the possible decisions at the meeting of the Disciplinary Committee will not come out of the framework of the decisions taken on June 6, and the return of the match and the imposition of a fine and administrative and administrative on Wydad and Alrgi, "but may be heavier on the latter by going to Cairo in the form of complainant Bah ", as he put it.

The disciplinary committee is expected to discuss the final crisis on the basis of Articles 82, 83 and 151 of the Disciplinary Code concerning regulatory and security procedures for the conduct of the game and the degree of potential risk during matches.

The return leg of the Champions League final at Rades stadium was suspended by a decision from the referee in the 60th minute, when the result indicated Esperance's lead with no reply. Esperance was given the title.

However, the Executive Office of Kef held an emergency session on June 6 and issued a decision to retaliate. This led Esperance to challenge the ruling at the International Sports Court, demanding that it prove its right to be crowned.
