Al Hilal urges CAF to postpone AS FAR vs RS Berkane clash amid ongoing dispute

Al Hilal SFC have formally submitted an urgent request to the Confederation of African Football seeking the postponement of the upcoming fixture between AS FAR and RS Berkane, citing concerns over potential consequences linked to a pending complaint.

According to the club, proceeding with the match before a final determination is reached could lead to significant complications, particularly if a ruling later validates their protest.

Al Hilal argue that allowing the game to go ahead under current circumstances risks undermining sporting fairness and could result in avoidable regulatory disputes.

In their submission, the Saudi side reportedly referenced several provisions within CAF’s disciplinary framework, insisting that the governing body has the authority to halt proceedings until all related matters are conclusively resolved.

The request places CAF in a delicate position as it weighs procedural integrity against the need to maintain the competition schedule.

As of now, no official response has been issued by the continental football body or the clubs involved regarding the outcome of the petition.

The situation is expected to attract further attention in the coming days, particularly if CAF moves to clarify its stance on whether the fixture will proceed as planned or face postponement pending disciplinary review.
