USMA loses first round …

As everyone knows, the USMA has boycotted the big Algerian derby that was to oppose it last Saturday at the MCA, on behalf of the update of the 4^e Ligue 1 Mobilis day, after the professional football league refused the club's request to postpone the match at a later date due to the absence of USMA military internationals as well as Libya's Mouaad Ellafi.

While the Mouloudia showed up at the 5-July stadium on the day of the match, the Arab referee waited until the 15-minute regulation time on the kickoff was passed to officially announce the club's package. of Soustara. As was to be expected, it was yesterday that the Disciplinary Committee of the Professional Football League met to deal with the affairs of the 8^e day of Leagues 1 and 2 Mobilis, among others the meeting that was to oppose the USMA MCA that has not unfolded. The penalty fell yesterday afternoon on the official website of the LFP and the least we can say, the Disciplinary Committee hit hard. The Algerian club was sentenced to a penalty of loss by penalty, that is to say on the score of three goals to zero, a deduction of three points, a heavy financial fine of one million dinars, or 100 million pennies, as well as the deprivation of TV rights derby. It must be said that everyone expected such a sanction insofar as the Disciplinary Committee of the Professional Football League applied Article 84 of the Disciplinary Code. With this sanction, the USMA is now at the 15^e place with 4 points on the clock, waiting to play the other two games late, respectively against JS Saoura and Paradou AC and whose dates will be announced later.

The management will first make a recourse to the FAF

Now that the sanction has officially fallen, the usmist officials are ready to begin legal proceedings to succeed in this case. According to the information we have, they will appeal today at the level of the Algerian Football Federation. The goal of this action is to replay the great Algiers derby against the eternal rival. A case that may take another turn in case the FAF would accept the appeal of the USMA because the MCA will undoubtedly oppose it because he will never agree to play the game again.

CAS and FIFA in case the appeal is refused by the FAF

It must be said that officials are ready to go far in this case. In case the FAF refuses their appeal, they will go to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) and FIFA if necessary. But one thing is certain: they will have to find the financial resources to cover the costs of their complaints to the world's leading authorities and which will certainly cost them dearly.

Dbichi: "I repeat, we will go far in this case"

USMA Secretary General Mounir Dbichi says management is ready to go far in this case to succeed. "We were expecting such sanctions after our decision to boycott the derby against the MCA. As I said before, our decision was made unanimously and we assume our responsibility. Now that the penalty has officially fallen, we will begin legal proceedings to win the case. First, we will appeal to the Algerian Football Federation so that the match is reprogrammed at a later date. I think the law is clear. We are deprived of our international military as well as Libyan Ellafi and I think it is our absolute right to refuse to play last Saturday and ask for the postponement of the derby. If our appeal is rejected by the FAF, we will then seize the CAS and FIFA if necessary. I say and I say it again, we are ready to go very far in this matter. We will prepare a solid file with several documents in support to win the battle, "he said.
