Al Ahly SC sent an official letter to the Egyptian Football Association (EFA), requesting the governing body of Egyptian football to take the situation of the 2022 CAF Champions League final venue to FIFA, demanding a neutral venue for the aforementioned game. 

This situation emerged as a result of CAF's decision to choose the same venue to play the CAF Champions League final for the second season in a row. 

The decision of CAF was announced at a late stage of the competition with four teams remaining and it serves one team that will have the home advantage if they reached the final.
