VIDEO.. The Royal Army files a complaint with CAF against 'some Al-Ahly fans'

The Royal Army club of Morocco has filed a complaint with the African Football Confederation against certain Al-Ahly fans for unsportsmanlike behavior during a match.

The Moroccan Royal Army football club has officially lodged a complaint with the African Football Confederation (CAF) regarding the behavior of certain fans from the Egyptian club Al-Ahly during a recent match. This complaint follows a match in Cairo where the teams ended in a goalless draw, which allowed Al-Ahly to top Group B with 10 points, just one point ahead of the Royal Army, both qualifying for the quarter-finals of the African Champions League.

The Royal Army’s management expressed strong disapproval of the unsportsmanlike conduct showcased by some Al-Ahly fans, notably incidents involving thrown bottles that posed a direct threat to the safety of players and technical staff. In their statement posted on social media, they emphasized the importance of maintaining sportsmanship and ensuring the safety of all participants in the sport.

In light of these events, the Royal Army has taken steps to address the issue formally by reaching out to CAF to demand that appropriate penalties be enforced as per existing regulations. This move underscores the club's commitment to preserving sports integrity and protecting the welfare of all involved in the matches, reflecting broader concerns about fan behavior in competitive sports.
