USM Alger of Algeria have lodged a complaint to the Confederation of African Football over the timing of
of their CAF Confederation quarter-final clash with Rivers United.
The match has been fixed for 2pm at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium, Uyo this Sunday.
The defender champions are not comfortable with the timing of the game.
According to them, they want the timing of the game shifted due to ongoing Ramadan fasting.
It would be recalled that the game was moved from 5pm to 2pm by CAF this week.
The statement reads “The management of our team, received a letter from CAF, which includes the change of time of our team’s match against Rivers Nigeria for the CAF Quarterfinals, from 17:00 to 14:00 at the request of Rivers FC.
“Therefore, we inform our audience that the administration of the Union of Capital has officially sent a message to the Confederation of African Football, intending to override the decision of programming the timing of this match taking into account the fasting factor approved by “CAF” in the draw of the quarter-finals of the CAF Cup.”
