Sudanese side Al-Hilal will reportedly complain to FIFA, international football's governing body, over racist harassment by reporters and photographers directed at their goalkeeper during their CAF Champions match against Zamalek on Saturday.

According to Sudanese newspapers, Al-Hilal goalkeeper Jumma Ginaro was harassed during their 2-1 away defeat at the Cairo Air Defence stadium. The match was held behind closed doors due to security concerns.

Al-Hilal reported the incident to the match officials after the final whistle.

Al-Hilal are second, after Zamalek, in Group A of the continental competition with three points from two games. They defeated TP Mazembe of DR Congo 1-0 at home in the first match.
