CAF stated their reason for taking such action, yet some people are still asking questions.

A rule is a rule, and it has nothing to do with emotion. What about South Africa that FIFA removed 3 points and 3 goals from despite the fact that Lesotho did not summit any complaint.
The lazy youths here cannot understand

That is a stupid, dubious rule calculated to favour some countries
How do you deduct from second placed teams the points they scored against the weakest teams in the group, but you allow the same points for the teams that topped the groups? Why not treat all the teams equally?
That is super corruption and big disgrace to African football/

Look at the comments above. That is how the average Nigerian reasons. You rejoice because it favors Nigeria today. What if it's against u tomorrow? The man is demanding explanation and that's what a right thinking person would do.
What useless explanation again, it was stated clearly before taking action, so what else he is expecting CAF to say.

The guy is just looking for attention.

Silly statement. Football is governed by rules. You lost because you didn't qualify.

Toh! A responsible leader is asking questions to demand probity and accountability because the corruption glitches have left INEC, JAMB, WAEC to now involved CAF.
He should pull out his country from CAF organized competitions if he doesn't understand the rules of the game or lacks confidence in the organisation.
He should stop embarrassing Africa with his myopic reasoning.

Eritrea withdrew,are they not supposed to give that group 3points and 3 goalseach since Eritrea withdrew ?
Re: Burkina Faso Leader To CAF: How Did We Miss The Playoff? by PigTormentor: 2:24pm On Oct 17, 2025
The rule was in play before competition started. It wasn't as if they implemented a new rule after thr competition have started.

How is he responsible? So the football governing body in his country cannot explain the rules to him except to show how shallow he is? And for some of you always trying to denigrate your own country, you get serious problem ooo.

He's just grandstanding, the rules have been there at the start of the competition. If they claim ignorance, that's their incompetence. Nigeria just happened to be lucky this time with their 4 goal victory. A responsible leader should not fan the embers of false conspiracy theories

To be honest this way of removing results against bottom team is funny but cat did inform every team as far back as February

What I thought is more logical is average point, which is dividing total points by matches played

Sincerely CAF and FIFA messed whatever they called fair play with that settings

Is it the fault of the better teams that Eritrea withdrew

Caf should have just left it that way, take away 6points from everyone and sleep
There must be a logical reason why nigeria qualified ahead of burkinafaso i don't think fifa can openly cheat them.

Their logic was that CAF deducted the points which every second team got from the last team in their groups

Which makes it difficult cos for teams who beat their opponents over two legs , CAF went ahead to take out 6points from their total points while teams with lesser points got the advantage in the case of Nigeria

Bar the Eritrea issue, we have no business at the playoff sef

But that decision didn't really show fairness, cos is it bad to beat your opponents now??

The rule is rule, learn to deal with that and stop being ruled by emotion. CAF can't remove any team points withiout a clearly stated rule.

Some people deserve to live but die, some deserve to die but live and prosper, life is dynamic, brutal and sometimes domineering. During the war, the innocent and righteous die for the sins of others, not because they deserve to die but because they are unfortunate to be in the war zone. The same traore should not have been president today withiout taking advantage of others.

This question should go to his country's FA to explain to
him the rules guiding the competition not CAF because caf is not answerable to him. That's why I don't subscribe to despotism whether by barrel of gun or by internet glitch; they are always terrible
