CAF
Enyimba file protest against Raja By Admin Enyimba have filed a formal protest to CAF over the travel plans of Raja Casablanca ahead of Wednesday’s CAF Confederation Cup semi-final in Aba. The Nigerian club also complained that the referees for the match travelled on the same flight with the Moroccan club. In a protest letter dated October 1, 2018 and signed by chairman Felix Anyansi-Agwu, Enyimba informed CAF they were not aware Raja would land directly in Port Harcourt from Morocco and so could not provide the team any protocol assistance on their arrival in Port Harcourt. Enyimba said they had made all the necessary arrangements to receive the Moroccans in Lagos. “The actions of Raja are deliberate and designed to not only cast our team in bad light, but gain an unfair advantage on Matchday,” the club argued.” “These actions are against the rule of the sport and against fair play and we request that CAF takes a hard stance against this by carrying out all necessary actions that would uphold the objectiveness and impartiality of the match.” Anyansi also complained that the referees for Wednesday’s match flew into Port Harcourt on the same flight with Raja. “Much as the referees may have a logical explanation as to their change of travel plans, we are gravely concerned,” complained Enyimba.
