CAF Threatens Royal Army with Severe Sanctions Before Facing Renaissance Berkane
The Confederation of African Football issued an official warning to the Royal Army management before the anticipated match against Renaissance Berkane, as part of the semi-final competitions of the African Champions League.
The match is scheduled for April 11, in the first leg of the semi-final, amid fears of a repeat of fan riots, which prompted CAF to emphasize the necessity of commitment and discipline in the stands.
The African Federation demanded the club's management to tightly organize the fans and avoid any violations, warning of imposing strict sanctions in case of infractions, which could directly affect the team's journey in the tournament.
These warnings come in light of considering any potential violation as a repeat offense, after the club had previously been sanctioned to play matches without fan attendance, due to incidents that occurred in a previous encounter against Al Ahly in the group stage.
On the technical side, the Royal Army continues its positive results in the tournament, having successfully reached the semi-final after overcoming Pyramids in the quarter-final, confirming its strong presence in continental competitions this season.
