Egyptian club, Ismaily has been disqualified
from the African Champions League after
fans forced the abandonment of Friday’s
home fixture against Club Africain, the
Confederation of African Football (CAF)
has said.
Ismaily fans threw stones and water bottles
at match officials and the Tunisian club’s
players, forcing Cameroon referee Neant
Alioum to order the teams into the
changing rooms in stoppage time.
The visitors were leading 2-1 then.
CAF expelled Ismaily from this season’s
competition, having disqualified Algerian
side Entente Sportive de Setif after similar
scenes in a match against Mamelodi
Sundowns in 2016, NAN reports.
Ismaily’s results in Group C have been
annulled, leaving Algerians CS Constantine
top with six points from two games.
Club African and DR Congo side TP
Mazembe now have no points from one
game.
TP Mazembe had beaten Ismaily 2-0.
Egypt was named as hosts of the 2019
African Nations Cup earlier this month in
spite of a number of incidents involving
unruly fans in recent years.
The violence had forced local officials to
limit the number of spectators at domestic
fixtures to 5,000.
