CAF Champions League: Tickets for AS FAR vs Al Ahly clash sold out in less than six hours

Tickets for the much-anticipated CAF Champions League showdown between AS FAR and Al Ahly sold out in under six hours, marking an unprecedented moment in Moroccan club football.

The match, set for Friday, November 28 at 8 p.m. (GMT+1) at Rabat’s 22,000-capacity Moulay El Hassan Stadium, drew overwhelming demand the moment sales opened on Monday night. By early Tuesday, every seat had been snapped up, reflecting the intensity surrounding a decisive fixture in what many fans call the tournament’s “group of death.”

Despite a controversial defeat in their previous outing, AS FAR supporters have doubled down on their backing, determined to propel their team in a must-win game. The feverish excitement, however, has also reignited frustration over the venue choice.

Many fans lament the move from the larger Moulay Abdellah Stadium, arguing it has shut out thousands who hoped to attend and cost the club considerable ticket revenue.

On the sporting front, the stakes could not be higher. AS FAR sit third in the group and need victory to revive their qualification hopes, while Al Ahly arrive as group leaders with momentum on their side.

With a packed and passionate crowd behind them, the Moroccan giants will look to unsettle the reigning African powerhouse.

Although Al Ahly will be playing away from home, the Egyptians will be determined to win to stay top of the Group B standings.
