CAF CAF

CAF has collected recent match reports and video evidence indicating potentially unacceptable behaviour from some players and officials and has opened an investigation into match incidents during the TotalEnergies CAF Africa Cup of Nations Morocco 2025 quarter-final fixtures between Cameroon and Morocco, as well as Algeria and Nigeria.

CAF has referred the matters to the Disciplinary Board for investigation and has called for appropriate action if the identified persons are found guilty of any wrongdoing.

CAF is also reviewing footage of an incident involving members of the media who allegedly misbehaved in the mixed zone area.

CAF strongly condemned any inappropriate behaviour during matches, especially behaviour targeting the refereeing team or match organisers.

"Appropriate actions will be sought against anyone whose behaviour is not consistent with professional conduct at CAF events,:" the organisation said.
