AFCON 2025: Algeria Players Confront Referee After Defeat to Nigeria

Algerian national team players faced potential sanctions from CAF after confronting match officials following their 2-0 loss to Nigeria in the AFCON 2025. The incident stemmed from perceived unfair officiating, with Algerian players chasing Senegalese referee Issa Sy down the tunnel.
