Rangers Petition CAF Over Stadium Vandalism by Algerian Fans in Abeokuta

Rangers International have petitioned the Confederation of African Football, CAF, over the alleged vandalism of facilities at the MKO Abiola Sports Arena in Abeokuta, Ogun State, on Sunday.

The petition followed the Nigerian club’s 2-0 victory over their Algerian opponents in the first leg of their CAF Champions League second-round qualifying match.

Rangers alleged that more than 400 Algerian fans damaged stadium seats, destroyed an entrance gate and caused disorder after the final whistle.

The club also alleged that the visiting supporters attacked their assistant coach and called on CAF to introduce precautionary measures ahead of the return leg.

The second-leg match is scheduled for Friday, October 23, 2026, in Algiers, Algeria.
