TAS Leaves Algeria Disappointed After Endorsing Berkane’s Victory

North Africa PostComments Off on TAS Leaves Algeria Disappointed After Endorsing Berkane’s Victory

The tournament last year was fraught with drama due to Algeria’s hostility towards the RS Berkane team as well as Morocco’s territorial integrity.

In April 2024, the Confederation of African Football announced RS Berkane as a winner after Algeria’s team pulled out of the competition because the Moroccan team’s jerseys featured the full map of Morocco, including the southern provinces.

The authorities in Algeria also confiscated RS Berkan’s jersey after the club landed in Algeria for the first leg of their double confrontation against USM Alger.

In the second leg, USM Alger traveled to Morocco only to pull out from the game for a second time.
