23 January 2026at22:22

AS FAR coach Alexandre Santos has announced his squad for tomorrow's CAF Champions League group stage match against Algerian side JS Kabylie, scheduled for Saturday at 17:00 GMT+1.

The squad includes newcomer Jalal El Khafif, a presence that "Albotola" had confirmed two days prior. The player joined AS FAR last Monday from Ittihad Yaacoub El Mansour.

The military club will be without the services of goalkeeper Reda Tagnauti due to accumulated yellow cards, in addition to Khalid Ait Ourkane, who will also miss this continental fixture.

AS FAR Squad: Ayoub El Khayati, Hakim El Mesbahi, Augusto Tou Carneiro, Anas Bach, Fallou Mendy, Younes Abdelhamid, Ayoub Ait Khasso, Marouane Louadni, Mohamed Nouh El Abd, Zinedine Derrag, Rabie Hrimat, Abdelfattah Hadraf, Jalal El Khafif, Mohcine Bouriga, Ahmed Hammoudan, Tawfiq Razko, Youssef El Fahli, Reda Slim, and Hamza Khabba.

Why will AS FAR be without key players for their CAF Champions League match against JS Kabylie?

Reda Tagnauti is suspended due to accumulated yellow cards, while Khalid Ait Ourkane will also miss this crucial continental fixture. Their absence could impact coach Alexandre Santos's tactical choices.

What does the inclusion of Jalal El Khafif in AS FAR's squad imply for their upcoming CAF Champions League strategy?

Jalal El Khafif's inclusion, following his transfer, suggests coach Alexandre Santos is keen to integrate new talent immediately for the crucial group stage match against JS Kabylie. His potential role will be key.
