Algiers - Khaled Alloush
Officials at Algerian football club USM Alger have disclosed that they have requested 5000 tickets from Mouloudia Club d\'Oran for away supporters to attend the semi-final of the Algerian Cup on Saturday. The Stade Ahmed Zabana in Oran has a capacity of 40,000, and representatives from Mouloudia are yet to make a decision over the number of tickets to be allocated to USM Alger fans. Footballing chiefs at Mouloudia Club d\'Oran had requested that the match takes place at the 20,000-seater Stade Habib Bouakeul, the home of ASM Oran. However, the Algeria Football Federation (FAF) ordered for the tie to be played at the larger Stade Ahmed Zabana.
