how is this CAF of a Federation thinking?.. Well we all know the vendetta south Africans have against Nigeria maybe this is Patriece Motsepe Way of taking out his hate towards Nigeria
Bro even the assistants are North Africans and then match Commissioner is SL….. So the only official who is not North AFRICAN is basically a stooge lol…
It is becoming glaringly obvious that there is a problem in African football Organisation and FIFA is aware of it but, still not willing to do anything about it.
It was a Moroccan referee who gifted you a sham penalty against Ghana. Now you guys don’t like north Africans officiating your matches.
The Morrocan ref handled the first leg. The second leg was a Malian ref. Check your fact, or maybe you dey talk different match. African football in general is not fair, I don’t know why people complain so much. Everybody will do mischief for their home matches
Bro, either Malian or Moroccan official, dem all be African referees. Like you said every team will do mischief for their home games.
