Prime Minister Chahed backs Tunisia and criticizes Caf Champions League replay

Tunisian Prime Minister Youssef Chahed strongly disagrees with the Confederation of African Football (Caf) over the decision to have the second leg of the Caf Champions League final replayed.

The Esperance players have been ordered to return their medals and trophy with the second-leg against Wydad Casablanca to be replayed at a neutral venue on a yet to be announced date.

The rearranged fixture is expected to be held after the Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) which starts on June 21 and ends on July 19 in Egypt.
