Royal Army Looks to CAF and Egyptian Authorities Ahead of Pyramids Clash
The Royal Army Rabat is preparing a letter to CAF and Egyptian authorities, asking for tightened security ahead of their CAF Champions League quarterfinal against Pyramids FC in March.
The draw paired the Moroccan side with the defending champions, making the tie particularly delicate as the two legs approach.
The return leg will be in Cairo, and the Army fears a repeat of the security gaps seen during the Morocco clash.
Last week, Al Ahly hosted the Royal Army at Cairo's stadium, a fixture marked by tense moments after their group-stage meeting in Morocco.
Officials blamed crowd trouble when Al Ahly fans threw water bottles at Royal Army players, criticizing the earlier Moroccan clash.
The Moroccan daily Al-Akhbar cited that the club will press CAF and Egyptian authorities to fortify lodging and create safe corridors for players exiting the stadium after the return leg.
In short, the Royal Army is laying the groundwork now to keep the trip safe and fair.
Punchline 1: Security's tighter than a helmet in a hurricane.
Punchline 2: Guess the match will be settled in the hallway.
