Algerian football officials refuse to restore RC Kouba's status

2008-08-25

The Algerian football federation (FAF) will not integrate RC Kouba into the national division one championship, despite an order from the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) in Lausanne, Switzerland, FAF announced Sunday (August 24th). Since FAF considers the ruling to be "provisional", it has postponed RC Kouba's matches until "the final decision" is reached. FIFA Secretary General Jerome Falaci said that if FAF fails to comply with the CAS ruling, it faces financial and technical sanctions, Echourouk reported.

In order for RC Kouba has a good year, the FAF needs to give them 100 billion dinars and dismiss Mr Haddadj and Mr Malik for poor management. Haddadj, all that is left for you is to go take a swim in Oued el Harrach and sell some spinach in Souk al Harrach so that you can become strong like Popeye and feel like a pure Harrachi, a “pro-Harrachi”!
