FAR Rabat urge CAF to drop referee before Mamelodi Sundowns final

The move follows his controversial appointment by the CAF Referees Committee despite lingering criticism over his officiating. 

Ndala’s reputation suffered earlier this year after the Africa Cup of Nations final between Morocco and Senegal, where several decisions sparked outrage and led to a temporary walk-off by Senegal’s players. 

The situation escalated further when CAF later awarded Morocco the title months after Senegal’s 1–0 victory. 

FAR Rabat believe these incidents raise serious concerns about his suitability for such a high-stakes match. 

In their appeal, the club stressed the need for top-level officiating and also questioned the imbalance in referee selections across both legs of the final.
