A win over Ivorian side ASEC Mimosas is the key for RS Berkane to reach the semi-finals of the CAF Confederation Cup, where they would face an Algerian team, potentially repeating last season’s scenario.
Should Berkane overcome ASEC, they will meet the winner of the match between Algerian sides, Constantine and USM Alger. This could mirror the events of last season, when USM Alger withdrew from their semi-final ties after a controversy over Berkane’s kit, which featured a map of Morocco. As a result, USM Alger lost both matches by default.
The Confederation of African Football fined Algerian club USM Alger USD40,000 for withdrawing from last season’s Confederation Cup semi-finals against Morocco’s RS Berkane, citing the display of a full Moroccan map on their opponents’ jersey.
Raja could also face Algerian side MC Alger in the CAF Champions League semi-finals, should both teams win their respective quarter-final ties.
