Algeria Petitions CAF, FIFA Over Refereeing Decisions After AFCON Exit To Nigeria

Algeria's football federation has formally lodged a complaint with CAF and FIFA, demanding a full investigation into the refereeing decisions during their quarter-final defeat to Nigeria in the AFCON. The complaint follows Algeria's 2-0 loss to Nigeria, which ended their 2025 Africa Cup of Nations campaign.

Video clips surfaced online showing confrontations between Algerian players and match officials. CAF has opened its own investigation into the alleged misconduct during the match.
