FIFA has imposed ban on Egypt's Cairo from hosting two World Cup qualifiers after fans attacked Algeria's team before a match.
FIFA ruled on Tuesday that Egypt must stage its first two home matches in qualifying for the 2014 finals at least 100 kilometers from the capital.
FIFA's disciplinary panel said Egypt's federation failed to ensure the Algeria's delegation safety before a World Cup qualifier last November.
Three players were injured by broken glass when fans hurled rocks at Algeria's team bus being driven from the airport.
Egypt failed to make the Cairo International Stadium secure and allowed too many spectators inside, FIFA said.
