AS FAR challenges closed door sanctions imposed by CAF
Saturday 27 December 2025 - 20:51

Moroccan club AS FAR Rabat said it has filed a formal appeal with the Confederation of African Football against disciplinary sanctions imposed after its match against Egypt’s Al Ahly on Nov. 28, 2025, played in continental competition.

In a statement, the club said the appeal seeks to defend its legitimate interests in accordance with CAF regulations and procedures, pending a final ruling.

The CAF Disciplinary Committee ordered the club to play two home matches behind closed doors in African competitions and imposed a $100,000 fine.

It also lifted a suspended sanction requiring one additional home match without spectators, initially issued on April 17, 2025, and ruled it would take immediate effect.

Under the current decision, AS FAR will play three consecutive home matches without fans in CAF competitions unless the appeal alters the ruling.

The club said it will comply with the sanctions while pursuing all available legal remedies therein.
