Former president has left us

Four days ago the Cameroonian athlete and member of the International Olympic committee Issa Hayatou has passed of health problems. However, the 77-year-old was best known for leading the African football confederation for full 29 years. During this period he was accused many times of being corrupted and taking bribery, and those charges were never verified.
Until 13 August it will be observed the days of mourning of the longest president than any other official which guided the continent from 1998 to 2017.

Yearly duel joins the fun

Next week will be decided which clubs have the strength and nerve to enter into the last qualifying round. Because the following duels are deciding ones, there is always the opportunity that some would be prolonged depending on the results from their first 90 minutes.
For the first time in these eliminations all three competitions are going to use three nights of play. Each of the 10 duels from the 'best' tournament are forced to start on 1 night (instead of the usual 2) and the reason for it lies in (only) 1 annual game which you can read it here as last.
