On Saturday, during the quarter-final of the African Champions League between Espérance de Tunis and Jeunesse Sportive de Kabylie, violent clashes broke out between Tunisian fans and local law enforcement. Warrants of committal have been issued for 31 Espérance supporters, while 27 others are under investigation and have been released.
Clashes took place in the first half, following Espérance supporters tried to invade the pitch. After being pushed back by the police, the supporters reportedly knocked over trash cans and set fire to an access corridor. Projectiles were launched, and tear gas canisters blanketed the stadium in smoke. The meeting was interrupted for more than 30 minutes.
