The Royal Moroccan 🇲🇦 Football Federation (FRMF) filed a formal petition calling for the suspension of Namibian 🇳🇦 referee Antsino Twanyanyukwa following the WAFCON final between Nigeria 🇳🇬 and Morocco 🇲🇦.
The FRMF submitted a “video dossier” to CAF, alleging “refereeing injustices” during Morocco’s 3-2 loss to Nigeria. They specifically contested the reversal of an 82nd-minute penalty for Morocco and described the penalty awarded to Nigeria as “soft.”
Twanyanyukwa initially awarded Morocco a penalty for a suspected handball but overturned the decision after a lengthy VAR review led by Rwanda’s 🇷🇼 Salima Mukansanga.
The Morocco FA President, Fouzi Lekjaa, personally confronted and allegedly “thr€aten€d” Twanyanyukwa during the post-match medal presentation.
CAF subsequently sacked its Director of Refereeing, Désiré Noumandiez Doué from Ivory Coast 🇨🇮, in connection with the incident.
Despite the intense pressure from the Moroccan federation, CAF has not publicly confirmed any individual disciplinary measures against Twanyanyukwa herself.
The whole world is monitoring the situation, and nothing must happen to the referee. đź‘€
