The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has opened an investigation into the post-match incidents following Nigeria’s 2–0 victory over Algeria in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations quarter-final in Marrakech.

According to Africa Soccer, CAF is reviewing reports from match officials, security personnel, and media representatives to assess the full extent of the confrontations.

Victor Osimhen and Akor Adams scored in the second half to secure the Super Eagles’ spot in the semi-finals. However, tensions flared at full time as Algerian players confronted referee Issa Sy and his assistants, alleging unfair decisions. Stadium security had to intervene to prevent potential assaults.

The unrest also extended to the stands, where Algerian fans reportedly attempted to breach barriers and caused damage to parts of the stadium, further compounding the chaotic scene.
