Moroccan club RS Berkane has welcomed the ruling by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), which upheld its victory over Algeria’s USM Algiers in the 2023-24 CAF Confederation Cup semi-finals.
USM Algiers had appealed for a replay of the match, while the Algerian Football Federation (FAF) sought to block the authorization of RS Berkane’s jersey, which included a map of Morocco.
In its decision, CAS stated that CAF should not have approved a jersey featuring a politically sensitive map but ultimately dismissed USM Algiers’ appeal, confirming Berkane’s semi-final victory without penalties.
In a statement on Wednesday, RS Berkane expressed satisfaction with the ruling, noting that it cements the club’s place in the tournament’s final standings and brings an end to the dispute.
