CAF launches disciplinary proceedings after Nigeria–Algeria

The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has launched an investigation following incidents at the end of the 2025 AFCON quarter-final between Nigeria and Algeria, played in Marrakech.

After the Super Eagles' 2-0 victory, tensions flared on the pitch. Algerian players strongly protested the officiating and surrounded referee Issa Sy, prompting intervention from security forces. There were also reports of unrest in the stands, with Algerian supporters attempting to break through barriers.
