The Confederation of African Football (CAF) said it will “investigate and look into the political statements and events at the opening ceremony of the TotalEnergies CHAN Algeria 2022” in a statement released on Sunday.
The football governing will assess whether there was compliance with the CAF and FIFA Regulations and Statutes.
“These political statements are not the statements of CAF and do not reflect the views or opinions of CAF as a politically neutral organisation,” the CAF’s statement added.
The confederation added that it will give an update “in due course,” and that it is under an obligation not to get involved in political matters.
