The confederation of African Football (CAF) has announced the rejection of the appeal filed by Zamalek s president Mortada Mansour against its decision to ban him for a year.
Mansour was handed a one-year ban from engaging in any kind of football related activities and was fined a sum of $40,000 over abusive statements he made against CAF officials last September.
The Egyptian Football Association (EFA) received a letter from the CAF revealing that Mansour s appeal was not even discussed since the Zamalek president failed to pay a required fee of $3,000 on time.
The CAF also advised that Zamalek s only way to appeal against the decision, at this point, is through the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
Egypt s Zamalek will be playing in the upcoming CAF Confederation Cup scheduled to start this month.
