Rangers petition CAF over stadium vandalism, others

Nigerian football club Rangers International has petitioned the Confederation of African Football (CAF) over alleged stadium vandalism by visiting supporters during their CAF Champions League match against MC Alger in Abeokuta. The match, which Rangers won 2-0, turned violent after the final whistle, with over 400 Algerian fans destroying seats and attacking the team's assistant coach.

Rangers claims the visitors also entered the stadium unauthorised and paid no gate fees, causing further damage. The club is urging CAF to implement measures to prevent such incidents in the upcoming return fixture scheduled for October 23, 2026, in Algiers. Rangers emphasizes its commitment to fair play and safety.
