Dates of Ismaily clashes against CS Constantine revealed

CAIRO – 14 February 2019: CAF announced on Feb. 13 that Ismaily clash against Algeria’s CS Constantine at the CAF Champions League will be played on February 23 in Egypt and the second game will be played a week later in Algeria.

“Meanwhile, the decision on Ismaily SC's match against Club Africain will be communicated shortly upon confirmation by the competent body,” the CAF statement added.

Ismaily was excluded from the competition following their fans’ riot during Ismaily's clash against Club African at the CAF Champions League.

On Sunday, Ismaily was reinstated to the CAF Champions League after a successful appeal against their expulsion.

The CAF Champions League draw put Ismaily in Group C alongside Congo’s TP Mazembe, Club Africain of Tunisia and Algeria’s CS Constantine.

Ismaily lost their first two games at the group; they lost the opening game 2-0 to Mazembe in Congo, and the CAF decided to grant the three points to Club Africain following Ismaily fans’ aggressive behaviors.
