The CAF Disciplinary Board, at the weekend, took
disciplinary action against Ghana’s Benjamin Tetteh and Mali’s Bilal Toure.
The continental football governing body also fined Gabon
$20000.
CAF took the decision following a meeting held on Saturday
to deliberate on a number of incidents that occurred at the ongoing 2021 Africa
Cup of Nations, AFCON, in Cameroon.
It disclosed this in a statement via its website on
Saturday.
The statement read in part, “CAF Disciplinary Board decided
to:
“To suspend Ghana player, Benjamin Tetteh, for one
additional game match in addition to his automatic suspension of two matches.
Consequently, the player has been suspended for three matches.
“The Disciplinary Board has also issued a stern warning to
both teams for their unsportsmanship behaviour after referees’ full-time
whistle.
“Mali Football Federation contested the red card awarded to
their player, Bilal Toure in their AFCON fixture against Tunisia on 12 January
2022 in Limbe.
“CAF Disciplinary Board upheld the decision of the referee.
Consequently, Toure is suspended for two matches.
“Gabon was charged with violating the CAF Regulations and
Directives within the framework of the Africa Cup of Nations. On 6 January
2022, Gabon allegedly went against CAF instructions and changed their hotel
without permission from CAF.”
The statement added, “The CAF Disciplinary Board found Gabon
guilty and imposed a fine of USD 20,000 for non-compliance with CAF’s directives.”
