Rangers International have formally petitioned the Confederation of African Football (CAF) following alleged misconduct by MC Alger supporters during and after Sunday’s CAF Champions League fixture at the MKO Abiola Stadium in Abeokuta, Trybal News reports.
The Nigerian champions raised concerns over the reported destruction of a stadium entrance gate, unauthorised entry without payment of gate fees, vandalisation of stadium seats and other acts of disorder.
In a statement, Rangers confirmed that they had requested urgent intervention from CAF, including consideration of appropriate precautionary measures ahead of the return leg scheduled for Friday, October 23, 2026, in Algiers.
The club reaffirmed its commitment to fair play, respect for football regulations and the safety of players, officials, supporters and other stakeholders.
Rangers also urged their supporters to remain calm, disciplined and focused as the team prepares for the return fixture.
The Flying Antelopes head into the second leg with a 2-0 advantage after Kenneth Igboke converted a penalty in the 84th minute before James Emo added a second goal three minutes later.
