Incidents sent to disciplinary committee

In official statement released on Monday, CAF confirmed that the match incidents, described as “unacceptable”, have been referred to the Disciplinary Committee.

The committee will now investigate the case and decide on possible sanctions against those involved.

During the match, groups of Al Ahly supporters were seen throwing plastic bottles toward the section occupied by AS FAR fans. The situation drew strong criticism and raised safety concerns inside the stadium.

AS FAR had already contacted CAF

Before CAF’s announcement, AS FAR had already confirmed their intention to contact CAF regarding the behavior of the home supporters.

The Moroccan club expressed dissatisfaction with what they described as excessive and dangerous actions from sections of the crowd.

The case is sensitive especially given recent disciplinary history between the two club.

Previous sanctions in the tie

Earlier in the group stage, AS FAR were punished by CAF following the first-leg match against Al Ahly in Morocco.

The club received a $100,000 fine and two-match suspension due to inappropriate behavior directed at the Egyptian side.
