The Caf Champions League semi-final second leg encounter between Zamalek and Raja Casablanca has been postponed by eight days, the Confederation of African Football (Caf) confirmed on Thursday.
The showdown billed for the Cairo International Stadium was due to be held on October 24 but has now been pushed back as eight players of Raja tested positive for the coronavirus and are currently quarantined by the Moroccan health authorities.
“Following a consultation meeting held immediately between the Caf experts, the authorities of Raja Casablanca and the Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF), the president of Raja reaffirmed the willingness of the club to participate until about this competition,” a statement from Caf website read.
