Following a contentious 2–0 loss to Nigeria in the Africa Cup of Nations quarter-finals, the Algerian FA has escalated its grievances to FIFA and CAF, demanding an official review of the refereeing decisions.

The FAF’s formal protest highlights perceived inconsistencies in officiating, which they argue compromised the match’s fairness and damaged confidence in African football’s integrity.

The federation’s complaint alleges that critical errors not only influenced the game’s outcome but also cast doubt on the competence of refereeing standards across the continent.

In response to the disputed calls, Algerian players and fans reportedly expressed visible frustration, leading to post-match altercations and unrest inside the stadium.

CAF has acknowledged the incident, stating that an inquiry is underway to assess the refereeing performances and fan behavior during the heated encounter.
