CAF Disciplines North African Giants

The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has handed fines to Esperance de Tunis and JS Kabylie following incidents of fan misconduct during recent CAF Champions League Group stage fixtures.

Esperance were fined €15,000 after supporters invaded the pitch and threw objects during their match against an opponent (details from Group play in December 2025).

JS Kabylie received a €10,000 penalty for similar charges, including use of pyrotechnics and object throwing in their home game.

Both clubs were warned of heavier sanctions for future violations.

The decisions come as CAF continues its crackdown on crowd trouble to enhance safety and image in continental competitions.

Esperance and Kabylie remain in contention in their respective groups, with the fines a financial hit but no points deductions imposed.

A reminder from CAF: clubs responsible for supporter behavior in high-stakes African club football.
