Weeks after being reinstated in the CAF Champions League, the Confederation of African Football (CAF) has set new dates for Ismaily's games in the competition.

CAF originally disqualified Ismaily after crowd trouble brought an early end to their Group C home game with Tunisia's Club Africain on 18 January and as a consequence of the ban and appeal process, Ismaily was unable to play their home and away matches against Algeria's CS Constantine.

Ismaily will now host the Algerians on 23 February while the reverse fixture will be a week later.

Decision

Meanwhile, CAF added that a decision on the result of the match which was abandoned before the final whistle will be "communicated shortly upon confirmation by the competent body."

The match was called off in stoppage time after parts of the crowd threw water bottles and stones at an assistant referee and Africain players.

Club Africain was leading 2-1 and both teams and officials had to be protected as they left the pitch.
