Esperance celebrate centenary despite ban for supporters

15 Jan 2019  |  BBC  |  English  |  Football

Tunisia's Esperance continues its centenary celebrations despite a ban from the Confederation of African Football (CAF) due to fan behavior. The ban coincides with the club's 100th anniversary and follows probation after incidents in the semi-final against Angola's Primeiro de Agosto. The impact of the ban is minimal as Rades Stadium is under redevelopment, and fans have been avoiding matches at neutral venues, adhering to President Hamdi Meddeb's 'everyone-or-no-one' policy. Upcoming games will be at El Menzah Stadium in Tunis, which is limited to 5,000 fans due to its condition.

22 Dec 2023  |  Forbes  |  English  |  Club World Cup

Fluminense supporters celebrated their team's advancement to the Club World Cup final after defeating Al Ahly, setting up a match against Manchester City in Jeddah. The tournament has historically been significant for South American clubs, but European teams have dominated in recent years. Despite the financial disparity between Manchester City and Fluminense, the latter's manager, Fernando Diniz, plans to play to the team's strengths without adapting their style. Diniz's approach is seen as both meritorious and potentially risky against the European powerhouse.
