The Confederation of
African Football has fined Tunisia’s football federation fifty thousand
dollars, while a referee has been sent home and suspended for six months in the
fallout from the chaotic African Cup of Nations quarterfinal against hosts
Equatorial Guinea.
Tunisia was also ordered
to pay for damages to a door and a refrigerator in the team’s dressing room at
Bata Stadium.
However, Africa’s top
football body did not announce sanctions against players despite members of the
Tunisian squad chasing the referee and aiming kicks and punches at him as he
fled with a riot police escort at the end of the ill-tempered match.
