The LFP discipline commission has sanctioned MC Alger with two matches played behind closed doors and a fine of 50 million centimes following the use of tear gas and projectile launch during the Friday 30 October 2026 match against USM Khenchela.

The incident injured USM Khenchela player Zakaria Zaitri, who required medical staff intervention. The commission’s decision was issued after the match, which ended with the use of tear gas and projectile launch by Mouloudia supporters.

MCA will play their next two matches against MC Oran and JS Saoura without supporters, as the club is required to comply with the sanction imposed by the LFP discipline commission.
