As one of the teams affected, we can confirm that these decisions completely undermined our work and left us sidelined without any consideration for what we’ve been building. A lot has been going on behind the scenes, roster changes, preparation, investments, and months of commitment, yet none of it mattered in the final decision-making. It genuinely feels like our situation was ignored, and we ended up paying the price for choices that don’t reflect the current competitive reality. North African teams deserve better than this. Our efforts should matter. Our region deserves a fair and transparent system.
