Al Ahly reject hotel offered by Berekum Chelsea

Egyptian giants Al Ahly have rejected a two-star hotel booked for them by their Champions League hosts Berekum Chelsea in Accra.

The six-time champions are expected in Accra on Thursday for Sunday's Group B clash.

"Chelsea management booked us in a hotel which is of low standard and we have totally rejected," Ahly's director of football Syed Abdul Hafeez said.

"We demand reciprocity, especially as we gave Chelsea a four-star hotel in Cairo."

Chelsea were beaten 4-1 in the corresponding fixture at the Cairo Military Stadium.
