Afcon 2019: Algeria FA urges fans to behave ahead of the final against Senegal

The Algeria Football Federation have cautioned their supporters about their conduct when they challenge Senegal in the final of the Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) on Friday night.

The Desert Foxes are set to make their first appearance in the continental final since 1990.

After their 2-1 victory over Nigeria in Sunday's semi-final, Algeria fans were found guilty of 'unsportsmanlike behaviour' by the Caf Disciplinary Committee and the country's FA was charged a $10,000 fine as punishment.

The ruling further stated the fine could be suspended if the supporters do not repeat such behaviour in the final game on Friday.
