The Confederation of African Football has slammed a $5000 (995,376 Naira) fine on Nigeria over
the overcrowded stadium and poor security at the Ahmadu Bello Stadium in Kaduna during the March 25 African Cup of Nations qualifiers against Egypt.
Over 40,000 fans filled the 16,000-capacity facility after the Kaduna state government threw gates open for fans to come in and cheer the Super Eagles to victory.
CAF said on their website on Monday that the decision was one of many actions taken during its disciplinary board meeting held on April 18.
The Egyptian federation was equally fined $5000 over incidents during the return leg.
Egyptian fans were accused of excessive use of lasers in Alexandria where Ramadan Sobhy’s 65th minute goal handed the Pharaohs maximum points to end the Super Eagles’ dream of reaching Gabon 2017.
