The
Confederation of African Football (CAF) on Sunday announced a change in the date
of the 2014 CAF Super Cup match to Thursday, Feb. 20 from Saturday, February
22.
A
statement on the football body’s website also said the one-off match will now
take place at the Air Defence Stadium in Cairo, Egypt at 7 p.m. local time.
The
match was earlier billed for the Cairo International Stadium.
The
statement explained that the decision taken by the CAF Executive Committee was
informed by ``organisational reasons’’.
It
said the match will involve the 2013 CAF Champions League winners, Al Ahly of
Egypt, and the 2013 Orange CAF Confederation Cup winners, CS Sfaxien of
Tunisia.
The
match will be the second meeting between the two clubs after the 2009 edition
which Al Ahly won 2-1 in Cairo.
Ahly
is the most successful club in the history of the CAF Super Cup with five
titles (2002, 2006, 2007, 2009 and 2013), while Sfaxien were runners-up in 2008
and 2009.(NAN)
