CAF Investigates Unacceptable Behaviour In Nigeria V Algeria Match by naptu2(op): 1:30pm On Jan 12
CAF condemns unacceptable behaviour of players and officials during TotalEnergies CAF AFCON Morocco 2025 and opens investigation into match incidents during QF: Cameroon v Morocco, as well as Algeria v Nigeria

Published: Monday, 12 January 2026

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 to be taken if the identified persons were to be 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 condemns any inappropriate behaviour which occurs during matches, especially those targeting the refereeing team or match organizers. Appropriate actions will be sought against anyone whose behaviour is not consistent with professional conduct at CAF events.

Algerian players and officials clashed with Nigerian players and officials after the final whistle.

Algerian players and officials also attempted to confront the referee in the tunnel.

There were also clashes in the Mixed Zone (where journalists interview the players immediately after the game).

Algerian Football Federation: The refereeing decisions in the last match against Nigeria cannot be overlooked, as they raised questions and left widespread dissatisfaction, striking at the credibility of African refereeing

Funny the way you guys blame North Africans for being violent, forgetting we subsaharan africans have our own issues with violence too.

Violence in football is common. The countries that have solved it invested heavily in security and travel bans for violent fans. The kind of thing you and the north africans would resist as 'opression'
Re: CAF Investigates Unacceptable Behaviour In Nigeria V Algeria Match by Hemanwel(m):
The way CAF does its things too can be embarrassing. Why nominate a West African official to officiate a match between a West African country and a North African country?

CAF is to be blamed!

BTW:

North African countries should be banned from participating in AFCON. They're too bitter in nature, besides they regard themselves as Arabs instead of Africans so they should go and participate in Arab tournaments.




I won't be surprised if our players are getting hostile treatments in their hotel rooms since they got there, it's their trademark. Our players won't reveal every nonsense they're experiencing in Morocco because Nigerians would say they're complaining too much.

Why no penalty?
Match officials determined that the ball had initially struck Ajayi's thigh before deflecting onto his arm, a crucial distinction under current handball regulations. According to football's laws, when the ball ricochets off another part of a player's body first, it is not a penalty, as the defender has no realistic opportunity to move their arm away. The rule is clear and unambiguous on this point.

However, the decision still proved deeply contentious for Algeria. From certain angles, the contact sequence appeared unclear, leaving Algerian players and supporters unconvinced that the ball had indeed touched Ajayi's thigh first. They remained adamant they had been robbed of a legitimate penalty claim. The absence of a VAR check only intensified their fury, raising questions about why the incident wasn't reviewed to provide clarity on the sequence of contact.

They're a violent generation. Trace their origin and you'd concur
Re: CAF Investigates Unacceptable Behaviour In Nigeria V Algeria Match by Nwaikpe: 2:00pm On Jan 12
Normally, North Africans see themselves as superior to other Africans.

They can't take defeat.

They consider it demeaning.

Meanwhile, some people in Nigeria are supporting the Algerians just because of religion.

They should rather put more focus on Moroccans because they will soon fight Nigerians after getting their own 2.0 in the semi finals....
