Confederation of African Football (CAF) has postponed indefinitely, the return leg match of the Confederation Cup quarter final duel of Sudan’s El Hilal and Etoile du Sahel of Tunisia.

This is due to the tensed political situation in Sudan after Thursday’s coup which saw the end of the 30-year reign of Omar Al Bashir.

The match was due to take place on Sunday at the El Hilal Stadium in Omdurman.

The new date, kick-off time and venue of the match will be decided by CAF and communicated to all parties in due time. Etoile won 3-1 in the first leg played at the weekend in Sousse.
