CAF launches investigation into Tanzania-Guinea match dispute

The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has initiated an investigation into the controversial match between Tanzania and Guinea, following a formal complaint lodged by the Guinean Football Federation (Feguifoot).

The match, part of the qualifiers for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), has sparked concern over an administrative error involving the Tanzanian team.

CAF confirmed that it is taking the matter seriously and is thoroughly reviewing the details of the complaint.

In an official statement, the governing body assured that it is conducting a detailed investigation into the incident to ensure that all aspects of the complaint are fully examined.

“The investigation is ongoing, and we are committed to providing clear and prompt responses to address any issues raised and ensure that fairness prevails in this situation,” CAF stated.

The organization emphasized its dedication to maintaining transparency and integrity throughout the process.

The dispute stems from an administrative oversight by the Tanzanian team, which has led to objections from the Guinean side.

Although specifics regarding the error have not been fully disclosed, it has been suggested that the issue could affect the legitimacy of the match.

CAF’s swift response underscores its commitment to fair play and its broader goal of ensuring transparent and impartial procedures in all African football competitions.

The body also assured that it will keep all involved parties updated on the progress of the investigation and any resulting decisions.

Feguifoot’s press release noted that CAF’s actions are in line with its ongoing efforts to uphold the principles of fairness and transparency in African football.

It concluded by expressing confidence that CAF’s resolution will ensure justice is served for all parties involved.

CAF’s handling of this dispute will be closely monitored, as it could set a precedent for how similar issues are addressed in future continental competitions.

As the investigation continues, both teams and their supporters await clarity on the outcome of the matter.
