The Algerian Football Federation (FAF) announced today the suspension of all football activities scheduled for this weekend, following a tragic accident involving the Mouloudia El Bayadh team.
The team’s bus was involved in a collision on its way to a match against JS Kabylie in Tizi-Ouzou on Friday. Three people have been confirmed dead – goalkeeper Zakaria Bouziani, assistant coach Khaled Moftah, and the bus driver. Four players also sustained serious injuries and are receiving medical attention.
In light of this devastating news, the FAF announced the indefinite postponement of all football activities across the country, including the Algeria Cup draw, which was initially scheduled for December 26th.
“The Algerian Football Federation expresses its deepest condolences to the families of the victims and wishes a speedy recovery to the injured players,” the FAF said in a statement. “The football community mourns this immense loss and stands united in this difficult time.”
Details regarding the resumption of football activities are expected to be announced by the FAF at a later date.
