“Due to the current security situation in Sudan, the second leg between Al Hilal and Etoile du Sahel (Tunisia) has been postponed indefinitely,” the Confederation of African Football said in a statement.
The match was due to take place on Sunday at the Al Hilal Stadium in Omdurman, near the Sudanese capital Khartoum.
Thousands of protesters have been calling for the iron-fisted Sudanese leader’s removal since December 2018 and Defence Minister Awad Ibnouf announced in a televised statement Thursday that 75-year-old Bashir had been toppled.
The minister said a military council will govern Sudan for the next two years in a transitional capacity.
CAF, Africa’s governing football body, said a new venue for the quarter final match-up will be scheduled at a later date.
Etoile du Sahel won the first leg against their Sudanese foes last week in the coastal Tunisian town of Sousse.
