Cairo, Egypt (PANA) - In line with the CAF Guidelines to resume Football in Africa and public health measures in Morocco due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there will be restricted media attendance for the first-leg, semi-final matches of the Total CAF Champions League and the final four of the Total CAF Confederation Cup 2019/20, both scheduled to take place in Morocco.

CAF said after consultations with local health authorities and in accordance with social distancing protocols, it has been decided that media attendance will only be limited to two persons from each of the participating teams, consisting of Club Press Officer and a Photographer.

Regrettably, no accreditation request from media outlets other than those two will be considered, CAF said on Wednesday.

Meanwhile, arrangements are being made to stream the pre-match and post-match press conferences on specified CAF Digital Platforms for media representatives to follow the activities before, during and after the games.
