Algerian FA has suspended play in their soccer leagues following the death of player, Albert Ebosse, who was hit in the head by a rock hurled from the stands.
The Algerian Football Federation made the decision to halt play after a meeting on Sunday.
Ebosse, who was 24, was struck on the head when leaving the pitch after his side JS Kabylie’s home defeat by USM Alger in Tizi Ouzou on Saturday. Algerian authorities had already ordered the indefinite closure of the 1st November 1954 stadium. Albert Ebosse, a Cameroonian striker who played for JS Kabylie in the Algerian top flight, reportedly died from injuries sustained after he was struck by a projectile in a match against USM Alger on Saturday, per ESPN FC. source
The 24-year-old striker scored the lone goal for JS Kabylie in what proved to be a 2-1 defeat. At the end of the match, Ebosse was hit in the head by an object thrown from the stands.
