An inquiry has been opened by the Confederation of African Football (CAF) into the violent altercations that broke out during the USM Alger vs. Jaraaf Senegal game in Dakar. CAF's disciplinary authorities have been tasked with reviewing and taking necessary action on the events that occurred in the stands and on the pitch.
The Confederation of African Football (CAF) said in an official statement on Monday that they are looking into the events that took place during the Group C match of the CAF Confederation Cup. In a formal complaint, USM Alger, the Algerian team, claimed that both its players and supporters suffered injuries throughout the match.
USM Alger and Jaraaf shared points as the meeting on Sunday concluded in a 0-0 tie. The sports event was overshadowed by the occurrences, which raised questions about crowd control and safety. The seriousness of the problem is anticipated to be addressed in CAF's next judgments.
