The tragic death of Albert Ebossé has indeed led to harsh but necessary sanctions for JS Kabylie. Suspending their home stadium for the entire season and banning their fans from attending away matches will be a heavy blow for the club—both in terms of atmosphere and finances. It’s a strong message from the Algerian Professional Football League that violent behavior will not be tolerated, no matter the passion behind it.
Football should unite and entertain, not cause harm or tragedy. Hopefully, these measures will help promote respect and safety among supporters moving forward.
Do you think these sanctions will be enough to change fan behavior in Algeria?
