Caf Impose Sanctions On Clubs Across Africa For Safety Violations

The Confederation of African Football CAF Disciplinary Board have addressed a series of infractions during recent competitions across the continent.

The sanctions against various clubs follow a review of incidents during the two legs of the prestigious Champions League and the Confederation Cup inter-club competitions.

The sanctions follow the completion of the Champions League and Confederation Cup quarter-finals over two legs. The decisions will have far-reaching implications for multiple clubs.

The Moroccan side ASFAR faced disciplinary measures for failing to maintain adequate security and using laser pointers in their Champions League match against Pyramids FC.

The club was found guilty and sentenced to play one match behind closed doors. This ruling is suspended for one year and slapped with a fine of 20,000 USD.
