AS Gabès Sanctioned: Three Matches Behind Closed Doors After Derby Incidents
The fallout from the tense AS Gabès vs. EGS Gabès derby has been swift and severe. Following serious incidents during the match, the Tunisian Football League’s Disciplinary Committee has handed AS Gabès a heavy sanction: three matches behind closed doors.
The punishment follows violent scenes during the derby, where AS Gabès supporters, enraged by refereeing decisions, threw stones at police, resulting in the injury of one officer. Matters escalated further when AS Gabès players physically confronted the refereeing team.
After reviewing the events in a disciplinary meeting held Wednesday, the league decided not to show leniency. The ruling sends a strong message about maintaining discipline and security in Tunisian football.
