Ismaili issued a statement on Saturday expressing disapproval to the attitude of some of their fans after Ahli's 3-1 CAF Champions League final defeat to Etoile Sahel on Friday. A number of the Dervishes supporters filled Ismailia streets in jubilance, following the shocking defeat of their bitter rivals at Cairo Stadium. However, Ismaili officials stated that the club does not acknowledge the behavior of the fans, stressing that the continental defeat is a 'national loss'. The statement added that Ismailia-based club is hoping that the fans' unacceptable attitude would not affect the relationship with Ahli. The announcement comes amid reports suggesting that anti-Ahli supporters celebrated Etoile's victory in Cairo, Port-Saied, Suez as well as Ismailia.
