AS FAR welcomes, this Saturday, January 11 at the Stade d’Honneur in Meknes, Raja de Casablanca as part of the fifth and penultimate day of the group stage of the Champions League.
The meeting was sold out, with a massive presence, but only supporters of the Military, those of the Greens having been banned from traveling to Meknes.
