Al-Ahly Club’s mission to Kumasi to face off against Ghana’s Medeama in the African Champions League was abruptly disrupted today due to unforeseen circumstances. The team’s flight was forced to make an emergency landing at Accra Airport, with the plane now deemed unfit for flight after a collision with airport equipment. This has left the Al-Ahly delegation stranded, with the administrative staff scrambling to secure accommodation for the night.
Moreover, the club’s management is in urgent discussions with the Ministry of Aviation to explore possible solutions, as there are currently no available domestic flights to complete the trip to Kumasi. In light of these developments, Al-Ahly has reached out to the Confederation of African Football (CAF) to inform them of the situation and to request a postponement of the match. This would allow the team the necessary time to regroup and travel to Kumasi for the scheduled game.
As the situation unfolds, Al-Ahly remains hopeful for a swift resolution and a rescheduled match, ensuring fair competition in the African Champions League.
