Algerian authorities have barred Moroccan journalists from entering the country to cover and support AS FAR, extending restrictions beyond fans in the latest development surrounding the club’s trip.
The decision affects Moroccan media professionals who were planning to travel to Algeria to follow AS FAR’s match, after supporters had already faced similar obstacles in making the journey.
The move has added tension around the build-up to the fixture, with the traveling Moroccan press now unable to be present on Algerian soil to report on the team’s campaign.
No additional official details were provided on the reasons behind the ban, but the measure confirms that the restrictions are not limited to supporters and now include journalists as well.
