Esperance unconcerned with possible fan attendance in CL final against Ahly
Esperance de Tunis' football director says his side not concerned with the possibility of Ahly fans attending next month's Champions League final in Egypt

Esperance de Tunis are ready to face Ahly in next month's African Champions League final before fans or behind closed doors, football director Riadh Bennour said on Tuesday.
Ahly will host the defending champions in the first leg of the Champions League final on 2, 3 or 4 November.
The Red Devils have officially asked the Ministry of Interior to let their fans attend the crucial game.
However, it is likely that Ahly's demand will be refused as Egyptian security forces has forbidden the presence of fans since the Port Said disaster in February, which saw more than 70 killed and hundreds injured in post-match clashes.
"We played several games against Ahly in front of their fans, we are used to that. It will be strange to face them behind closed doors," Bennour told Egyptian TV Channel Al-Hayat on Tuesday, playing down the impact Ahly fans can make if they are allowed to attend the anticipated encounter.
Bennour also said his side has no intention of asking African governing body CAF for security guarantees after the troubles which marred the build-up to Ahly's home clash against Nigeria's Sunshine Stars in the semi-final.
Hundreds of protesters, including many Egyptian Premier League footballers, held a protest in front of the hotel where Sunshine Stars were staying on Sunday, few hours before the match kick-off.
Their protest, which aimed at pressuring Egyptian authorities into resuming domestic football activities following a lengthy stoppage that has been in place since February's Port Said tragedy, forced a 30-minute delay of the game.
"We cannot make such a complaint. Tunisia and Egypt witnessed similar revolutions, those incidents are quite normal in the two countries," Bennour added.
