CAF Sanctions Libyan Football Federation for Fan Misconduct

CAF Sanctions Libyan Football Federation for Fan Misconduct
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has penalised the Libyan Football Federation following incidents of crowd violence during the Libya vs Benin match at Tripoli International Stadium. The disciplinary measures include a two-match spectator ban and a $50,000 fine.

CAF announced the sanctions after reviewing reports of the disturbances that occurred during the recent Africa Cup of Nations qualifier. The violent behaviour disrupted the match, raising serious concerns about safety and security at the venue. This decision comes as part of CAF’s broader efforts to maintain discipline and ensure the safety of players, officials, and fans during football matches.

The Libyan Football Federation now faces the challenge of addressing these issues to prevent further sanctions. The two-match spectator ban means Libya’s national team will play their next home games behind closed doors, significantly impacting fan support and matchday revenue.

CAF emphasised the need for stricter measures to uphold sportsmanship and deter future incidents. It also called on the Libyan authorities to take proactive steps in ensuring that stadiums are safe environments for all attendees.

The penalties serve as a stark reminder of the importance of maintaining order and discipline at sporting events, as Libya seeks to rebuild its reputation on the regional and global football stage.
