Algerian football fans are in for a disappointment as the highly anticipated derby between JSM Béjaïa and MOB on March 14 will take place behind closed doors. The decision was made by the Algerian Football Federation's (LFP) disciplinary commission during their weekly meeting. This move comes after JSM Béjaïa's third infraction, resulting in a one-match ban. The commission based their decision on the report from the previous match between JSM Béjaïa and USM El Harrach.
The commission's decision has sparked outrage among JSM Béjaïa and MOB supporters, who feel that the sanction was unfair and intended to deprive them of a football celebration. The supporters expressed their frustration, stating that a single smoke bomb thrown by an unknown individual led to the harsh punishment. The two teams, currently struggling at the bottom of the table, need the support of their fans to boost their performance on the field.
In addition to the closed-door match, JSM Béjaïa has been fined 20 million centimes. The club's management and supporters are disappointed by the decision, which they believe will affect the team's morale and performance. The derby between JSM Béjaïa and MOB is a significant event in the Algerian football calendar, and the absence of fans will undoubtedly be felt.
The disciplinary commission also handed down a two-match suspension to JSM Béjaïa player Slimane Allali, who was expelled during the match against USM El Harrach. Allali's suspension means he will miss the upcoming matches against USM Annaba and MOB. This is a significant blow to JSM Béjaïa, as they struggle to improve their position in the league.
In a bid to motivate their players, JSM Béjaïa's management has offered a prime of 10 million centimes to the team following their recent victory against USM El Harrach. The win was crucial for the team, as they look to climb out of the relegation zone. The management hopes that the incentive will help the team perform better in their upcoming matches.
The sanctions imposed on JSM Béjaïa have raised concerns among Algerian football fans and pundits. Many feel that the punishments are too harsh and may have a negative impact on the team's performance. The LFP's decision has also sparked debate about the use of disciplinary measures in Algerian football.
The upcoming match between JSM Béjaïa and MOB will take place on March 14, with JSM Béjaïa looking to bounce back from their recent setbacks. Despite the challenges they face, the team is determined to perform well and make a positive impact on their fans, who will be absent from the stadium.
