The Asian Football Confederation imposed financial penalties on several Al-Ahli players for violating media regulations. The decisions included fines for Riyad Mahrez and his teammates Merih Demiral and Ivan Toney.

The fine was imposed because the players did not pass through the media area after the award ceremony, and the penalty amounted to approximately 37,500 riyals for violating the established protocol.

Mahrez was also fined an additional $10,000 for the same incident, which occurred during the team's match against Vissel Kobe in the semi-finals of the tournament.

The sanctions extended to include the club, with a fine of $13,000 imposed on Al Ahly due to organizational violations by the fans, most notably throwing papers onto the field.

In addition to remarks concerning general behavior both on and off the field, these decisions affirm the Asian Football Confederation's commitment to strictly enforcing its regulations.

This is despite the significant achievement by Al Ahly in winning the continental title.
