The decision by Caf to increase the capacity for the African Super Cup from 5,000 to 20,000 spectators despite ongoing tensions in Egypt reflects the anticipation of strong support for the match. Originally scheduled to have a limited audience, the game between Al Ahly, champions of the Champions League, and CS Sfaxien, winners of the CAF Cup, has now been rescheduled to February 20.
With this adjustment, it’s expected that a large number of fans will turn out to cheer on their respective teams. This decision underscores the significance of the match and the enthusiasm surrounding African football, despite the challenges faced in the host country.
