The Egyptian Football Confederation, EFC has tabled a complaint to CAF for the man chosen to control the upcoming semi-finals between Cameroon versus Egypt.
Egypt has taken all measures to have the match in control, as they were all tested covid-19 negative and physically ready for the match. CAF medical staff made this result official on February 1.
