This comes after the body’s Appeal board had employed Chapter XI article 3, Chapter XI article 13, Chapter XI article 18 to dump the club out of the CAF Champions League after scenes of violence stopped Ismaily’s last game in Egypt pitting Ismaily SC to Club Africain.

The Appeal Board decided as follows :
1. The Appeal of the Ismaily Sporting Club is admissible;
2. The Appeal of the Ismaily Sporting Club is upheld;
3. Ismaily Sporting Club is reintegrated into the Total CAF Champions League CL
