Media sources revealed that Algeria confirmed officially to the CAF that there will be no opening of Algeria’s airspace to the Moroccan Team’s plane to participate in the African Nations Championship for U23 (CHAN 2023) slated Jan. 13-Feb. 4.
The same sources pointed out that “CAF” had received an official response from the Algerian authorities on this matter.
The Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF) did not receive so far any response from the Confederation of African Football.
The refusal came after a call by Fouzi Lakjaa, president of the FRMF, to allow the entry of a Moroccan plane flying from Rabat to Constatine, as per the rules and regulations governing African competitions
Previously, Rachid Oukali, President of the CHAN Organizing Committee, implied that there will be no direct flight from Rabat to Constantine to enable the Moroccan team to participate in the CHAN 2023.
