The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has announced sanctions for the Algeria national team, over the clashes that happened after their quarter-final clash with Nigeria at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
CAF’s disciplinary board has cited misconduct by players, officials and supporters during and after the encounter with the Super Eagles.
As part of the ruling, goalkeeper Luca Zidane has been suspended for two matches, a ban he will serve during the AFCON 2027 qualifying campaign.
Defender Rafik Belghali was handed a four-match suspension, with two of those games suspended.
