The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has launched an investigation into clashes that occurred at the end of the AFCON quarterfinal match between Algeria and Nigeria on January 10 in Marrakesh, Morocco. The investigation focuses on the "unacceptable behaviour" of players, team officials, and accredited media. CAF has warned that disciplinary action will be taken if individuals are found guilty of wrongdoing, particularly targeting the refereeing team or match organizers. The Algerian federation has also filed a complaint with CAF regarding the referee's performance. The outcome of the investigation could impact Nigeria as they prepare for their semifinal match against Morocco.
