The Union of Arab Football Associations (UAFA) decided on Sunday that Arab Cup semi-finals encounter between Egypt's Ismaily and Morocco's Raja would be staged behind closed doors.
In a statement, the UAFA said that the upcoming clashes in the competition would be held without the presence of the fans due to coronavirus concerns.
It also added that the decision came in line with the precautionary measures, adopted by many countries to combat the virus.
Ismaily are set to clash against the Moroccan team on 15 March as the Dervishes snatched a hard-fought 1-0 victory in the first leg.
Dervishes scored their only goal in the first leg when Tunisian forward Fakhereedine Ben Youssef converted from a penalty spot after the break following a VAR check.
