While CAF rejected Al-Hilal Club’s request to postpone its match against Rayon Sport Rwanda in the second preliminary round of the Confederation Cup due to the toll of victims of Storm Daniel, Rayon Club officials responded by holding the two matches at the Rwandan capital's stadium. The first leg will be held on Sunday, September 24, and the second leg will be held on Monday, September 30.
This was the case for Al-Ahly Benghazi, as the club’s management confirmed that there was no adequate response to the request to postpone its match against ASEC Mimosas of Ivory Coast in the first leg of the Champions League, and agreed to postpone it for 24 hours, as the match would be held at the Sousse Stadium in Tunisia on Monday, September 18.
