For C2, CAF has postponed the “Final Four” in Morocco from September 22 to October 19-20 for the semi-finals, and from September 27 to October 25 for the final.
More surprisingly, CAF has decided to maintain the principle of semi-finals round trip between Morocco and Egypt, despite the health context in the country.
These matches, initially postponed to September 25-26 (first leg) and October 2-3 (return), will therefore be held on October 17-18 (Morocco) and October 23-24 (Egypt).
As for the final, planned around October 16-17, it will be played on November 6, in a location to be defined.
