The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has officially opened investigations into multiple incidents of alleged misconduct during two fiery quarter-final matches of the TotalEnergies CAF Africa Cup of Nations Morocco 2025, condemning what it termed the “unacceptable behaviour” of players and officials.
CAF has also collected recent match reports and video evidence indicating potentially unacceptablwe 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.
Consequently, CAF 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 condemned 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.
