The Moroccan website (Le360 Sport) reported important details mentioned in the match observer's report for the game between Al Ahly and the Royal Army, which was hosted at Cairo Stadium at the conclusion of the group stage of the African Champions League.

The observer's report caused a wave of anger and widespread debate in the Moroccan sports community.

According to the site, the match observer, Libyan Jamal Ambeh, condemned the Royal Army fans and held them responsible for the riots that followed the match.

The Disciplinary Committee of the Confederation of African Football contacted the management of the Royal Army, requesting an official response and precise clarifications within a period not exceeding 72 hours in order to make a final decision regarding the incident.

The contradiction between the observer's report on one hand, and the reports of the referee and the general coordinator on the other, increased the questions, especially since the latter two documented the events of the meeting based on what actually happened on and off the field.
