The Disciplinary Commission of the Confederation of African Football (CAF) sanctioned the Mouloudia Club of Algiers by playing four matches without an audience, including two valid matches, due to the violence that occurred during its match against the Tunisian Union of Monastir in the second preliminary round of the African Champions League.
A statement released by the Algerian club said the sanction was based on violations noted during the match and that a fine of $50,000 was imposed on the team.
The commission confirmed that if further violations occur outside of football in the next 12 months, the sanction will be activated to increase the number of matches banned from spectators to four.
Note that the Monastir Federation had filed an official complaint against Mouloudia de Algiers after the events which marred the match, referring to the attacks to which its delegation was subjected before, during and after the match.
