The Confederation of African Football announced on Friday that all Sudanese clubs who are participating in the continental competitions have been disqualified following FIFA's decision to suspend the Sudan Football Association. "In accordance with Article 13 of the FIFA Statutes, the SFA loses all its membership rights, and its representative and club teams are no longer entitled to take part in international competitions until the suspension is lifted," read a statement released by CAF early on Friday. "In line with the decision, the three Sudanese clubs, El Hilal, El Merreikh (Total CAF Champions League) and Al Hilal Obeid (Total CAF Confederation Cup) are disqualified from the two competitions," the statement added.
