Dec 25 (Reuters) - - Morocco’s ASFAR Rabat have been ordered to play their next two home matches behind closed doors and fined $100,000 after fans threw objects onto the pitch and used lasers during last month’s African Champions League clash with Egypt’s Al Ahly, the club said on Thursday.
The fine includes $20,000 for laser use, $15,000 for bottle throwing, $15,000 for ball boys entering the field during play, and $50,000 for throwing a heavy metal construction tool onto the field of play, ASFAR said in a statement.
ASFAR will serve the ban in group matches against Algeria’s JS Kabylie on January 30 and Tanzania’s Young Africans on February 3. Al Ahly lead Group B with four points from two games, ahead of Young Africans on goal difference. ASFAR sit third with one point.
