AFC dismisses Saudi's Al-Nassr claims
The Asian Football Confederation has dismissed a protest lodged by the Al-Nassr Football Club of Saudi Arabia, in connection with violations by Iran's Persepolis Football Club in the Semi-final match of the AFC Champions League.
The AFC Disciplinary and Ethics Committee announced on Friday that in accordance with Article 59 of the AFC Champions League 2020 Competition Regulations, the Saudi club's claims have been rejected. The AFC did not make any further comments on the matter.
Previously, Al-Nassr Football Club had filed a complaint with the AFC over what it called "obvious violations of the FIFA’s regulations by Iran's Persepolis". The Saudi club claimed that Persepolis committed blatant violations of FIFA rules by using "several illegal players" in its squad during the AFC's championship semifinal, last Saturday.
