| Zamalek and Raja face Caf sanctions ![]() Both clubs fell foul of Caf's commercial deals This follows separate incidents during the two legs of the final in December. The Confederation of African Football (Caf) confirmed that both face possible sanctions when the executive committee meets to discuss the matter in Cairo on 6 February. Raja are faced with a $300,000 demand from SportFive after using the logo of a rival sponsor in the first leg on 30 November. They wore shirts with Coca-Cola's logo. They are direct rivals to Pepsi Cola, who are competition sponsors. Raja were said to have ignored a warning not to wear the offending shirts. They have already been fined $15,000 by Caf for the incident. Half of their $700,000 Champions League revenue was frozen in anticipation of SportFive's compensation claim. SportFive, based in Paris, are also demanding $250,000 from Zamalek. The Egyptian club was said to have allowed unauthorised television crews to film the second leg of the final in Cairo on 13 December. Camera crews from Nile TV and Dubai TV were allowed to film the match. The stations concerned are traditionally close to the club. Zamalek had been advised to protect the advertising rights of the companies who had paid for the Champions League broadcasts. The sum of $250 000 has also been suspended from Zamalek's $1 million championship payout. | Top CAF club competitions stories now: Links to more CAF club competitions stories are at the foot of the page. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
