Kuala Lumpur: The AFC Disciplinary Committee (Committee) today dismissed a protest lodged by Al Hilal (KSA) following the AFC Champions League semi-final (second leg) on October 20, 2015.
The protest was filed in accordance with Article 72 of the AFC Champions League 2015 Regulations (ACL Regulations) and alleged that Mr. Ossama Assaidi, whom participated in the match for Al Ahli (UAE), was not duly registered with the UAE Football Association in accordance with its transfer rules, a contravention of Article 26.1.2 of the ACL Regulations.
However, the Committee determined that Mr. Assaidi had been validly registered in accordance with the UAE Regulations on the Status and Transfer of Players by the UAE Football Association and therefore was eligible to participate in the relevant match.
The decision has been notified to all affected parties, whom have the right to appeal.
