The sanction will not yet be active for the trip to Charleroi. Anderlecht will however have to play the next two games without their supporters. A great loss considering the two posters. The most serious is the absence of fans during the Brussels derby. On January 8, Anderlecht will host the Union in an empty stadium.
The decision of the Disciplinary Board will have a big impact on the club’s finances. The head of legal affairs in Anderlecht, Thibaut Dochy, explained during his plea that a closed session at home would cost Anderlecht 700,000 euros.
The Mauves will then have to move to Club Brugge on January 15. It will be without visiting supporters. A second hard blow given that the Jan Breydel stadium is one of the loudest in the country.
Anderlecht will also be suspended for two home games behind closed doors. The reprieve will end on December 19, 2023. He must also pay a fine of 10,000 euros.
The RSCA can still appeal to the CBAS. The club told us to analyze the situation before appealing.
Standard, meanwhile, was sanctioned with a suspended match behind closed doors (until the end of 2023) for the fights that took place after the meeting. The Rouches must also pay a fine of 10,000 euros for the use of pyrotechnic objects.
Only good news for the Rouches. They officially recover the three points, Anderlecht being logically penalized with a 5-0 defeat following the premature end of the match.
