CAF Champions League: MC Alger supporters face travel ban call after Abeokuta incident

Algerian sports analyst Shuaib Kahal has urged for a travel ban on MC Alger supporters following recent unruly behavior displayed during the club's CAF Champions League match in Nigeria. This call comes as the club has been involved in a series of violations overseas, tarnishing Algeria's international image. Kahal pointed out previous incidents in Côte d'Ivoire, South Africa, and Rwanda, where the Algerian embassy had to intervene.

He believes that barring the supporters from traveling for away matches would protect the country's reputation and avert further diplomatic issues. MC Alger, which lost 2-0 to Nigerian champions Rangers in the first leg, is scheduled to host the Nigerian side in the return leg on Friday.
