The refereeing in the CAN 2013 has been a subject of controversy. Hamada Nampiandraza from Madagascar was appointed by the Confederation of African Football (CAF) to officiate the Algeria vs. Togo match in Group D. Following the match, rumors circulated that Nampiandraza was suspended by CAF due to refereeing errors. However, the Malagasy Football Federation (FMF) denied these rumors, stating that the referee was not suspended, and if he had been, he would have already returned to Madagascar.
