CAF Rejects Al Hilal Sudan Appeal in RS Berkane Case 🏆

The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has settled the controversy surrounding the Al Hilal Sudan and RS Berkane match in the CAF Champions League after the Appeals Committee rejected the Sudanese club’s challenge regarding the participation of a Moroccan team player in the previous quarter-final clash.

Al Hilal Sudan had submitted an official complaint to CAF, claiming that Hamza El Moussaoui’s participation with RS Berkane was not legal and requesting a review of the match outcome according to tournament regulations.

📢 The Appeals Committee’s decision confirmed that the result of the match would remain unchanged after finding no sufficient reasons to overturn the previous ruling issued by CAF’s Disciplinary Committee.

Details of Hamza El Moussaoui Participation Dispute ⭐

The controversy dates back to the CAF Champions League quarter-final match between Al Hilal Sudan and RS Berkane, when the Sudanese club raised objections over the eligibility of Moroccan defender Hamza El Moussaoui.

Al Hilal argued that the player was not eligible to participate according to the competition regulations, which led the club to file an official complaint requesting an investigation.

Meanwhile, RS Berkane maintained that the player’s participation was completely legal and that there were no violations requiring punishment or a change in the match result.

Al Hilal Plans to Take Case to CAS 🔥

Following the rejection of the appeal, Al Hilal Sudan announced that it will continue its legal procedures, confirming that it plans to take the case to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) after receiving the full explanation of CAF’s decision.

The Sudanese club hopes to overturn the ruling through the highest sports legal authority responsible for handling international sports disputes, insisting on protecting its rights and legal position.

Taking cases to CAS is a common step for clubs and federations when they believe that decisions made by sports authorities do not match their legal arguments or submitted documents.

RS Berkane Continues African Campaign ⚽

On the other side, RS Berkane continues focusing on its sporting goals after becoming one of Africa’s strongest clubs in recent years.

The Moroccan side has built a strong reputation on the continent thanks to administrative and technical stability, as well as having experienced players capable of competing at the highest level.

RS Berkane has consistently been among the top African competitors, especially after achieving several successes in recent seasons, making it a regular contender for continental trophies.

Legal Battle Could Continue ✨

Despite CAF’s decision to reject Al Hilal’s appeal, the case could witness new developments if the Sudanese club officially proceeds to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.

African football fans are waiting to see what happens next, especially because player eligibility disputes often attract major attention due to their potential impact on tournament results.

Conclusion

The Al Hilal Sudan and RS Berkane controversy continues outside the pitch after the case moved from CAF offices toward a possible hearing at the Court of Arbitration for Sport. 🔥

With Al Hilal maintaining its legal position and RS Berkane defending its rights, the final decision remains the key factor in one of the most controversial cases in CAF Champions League history.
