A document from the Confederation of African Football (CAF) has definitively resolved the debate surrounding the eligibility of Wydad Athletic Club player Reda Moussaoui to participate with RS Berkane in the African Confederation Cup.
A source close to RS Berkane revealed that the club received official correspondence from CAF confirming that Moussaoui is fully eligible to play in the continental competition. The document states that the player’s registration with the Moroccan club is completely legal and in accordance with all regulations.
The controversy erupted after Wydad Casablanca submitted a formal complaint to the Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF) and CAF. Wydad claimed that Moussaoui’s move to Berkane was invalid because he was still under contract with them, arguing that Berkane had not followed the proper procedures to terminate his previous contract.
However, the CAF document, which has been seen by the source, clarifies the situation. It confirms that RS Berkane followed all necessary legal and administrative steps to secure Moussaoui’s services. The African football governing body’s intervention thus puts an end to the dispute, allowing the player to continue his journey with Berkane without any obstacles.
This confirmation comes as a significant relief for RS Berkane, which is counting on Moussaoui’s experience in its campaign to advance further in the Confederation Cup. The club can now fully focus on its sporting objectives, with the eligibility of its squad members firmly settled.
