Algeria has suspended football indefinitely following the death of Cameroonian player Albert Ebosse, who was hit by an object thrown by fans.<\/p>\n
The Algerian Football Federation made the decision after a meeting on Sunday.<\/p>\n
Ebosse, who was 24, was struck on the head when leaving the pitch\u00a0after his side JS Kabylie’s home defeat by USM Alger in Tizi Ouzou on Saturday.<\/p>\n
Algerian authorities had already ordered the indefinite closure of the 1st November 1954 stadium.<\/p>\n
That ruling will now apply to all stadiums in the country.<\/p>\n
The federation has also decided that US$100,000 will be given to Ebosse’s family – a figure believed to be the amount he would have earned over the period of his contract. In addition, JS Kabylie’s players will each donate a month’s salary.<\/p>\n
