Hope ST, heavily penalized, yesterday by the African Football Confederation following incidents that punctuated the match of April 29 against JS Kabylia, will try to lighten the sanctions.
Following these incidents, the “blood and gold” received four closed matches, two of which were suspended and a fine of 300 thousand dollars.
Following these sanctions, the president of the Eastern Legal Commission, Riadh Touiti, said that the decisions of the CAF disciplinary committee are severe and assured that the club’s legal committee will call on these sanctions.
On another level, the East will launch a campaign to sell virtual tickets to pay the fine of 300 thousand dinars inflicted by CAF.
Recall that the CAF disciplinary committee inflicted, on Friday, on Esperance, four closed -door matches, two of which were suspended, following the incidents during the quarter -final return of the Champions League in Rades.
CAF has also threatened to exclude from any African competition for a year in the event of a recurrence of these overruns for the next 12 months and automatically apply the two closed -door matches suspended, not to mention other sanctions.
The second half of the quarter-final return from the African football champions league which ended, last Saturday in Rades, with a 1-1 draw between Espérance and JS Kabylie, started 40 minutes late due to acts of vandalism.
The East who had won the first leg (1-0), assured his qualification in the semi-finals at the Champions League at the end of this meeting. He will face Al Ahly from Egypt in a first leg on May 12 in Rades and May 19 in Cairo.
