CAF Cup (Semi-final): USM Alger withdraws from the return match against RS Berkane
Berkane – USM Alger withdrew, Sunday evening, from the match against RS Berkane, counting for the semi-final return leg of the African Football Confederation (CAF) Cup, which was to be played at 8:00 p.m. at the Berkane Municipal Stadium.
Let us recall that regarding the first leg, which was scheduled for last Sunday in Algiers but which was ultimately not played, the CAF clubs committee had decided, on Wednesday, unanimously by its nine members, to sanction the Algiers club with a 0-3 forfeit, and to maintain the return match at the Berkane Municipal Stadium.
The commission also decided to submit this case to the disciplinary jury for possible additional sanctions.
On Friday, the CAF Appeals Jury confirmed the decisions of the Confederation’s Clubs Committee regarding the USMA-RSB first leg match, rejecting the appeal lodged by the Algiers team.
