A source from the International Football Federation (FIFA) confirmed that the FIFA Disciplinary Committee has approved the result of the match between Algeria and Cameroon held on March 29, as part of the second leg of the African qualifiers for the 2022 World Cup. The Egyptian website Sada Elbalad reported that the source stated the Disciplinary Committee validated the result of the Cameroon vs. Algeria match, allowing the Indomitable Lions to qualify for the World Cup.
Additionally, the source mentioned that the Disciplinary Committee has decided to suspend Gambian referee Bakary Gassama for a period not exceeding 6 months due to his failure to revert to video technology in certain instances. The source clarified that the Disciplinary Committee is "highly likely" to announce its official decision regarding the reopening of the Algeria-Cameroon match before the end of April.
It is noteworthy that the Algerian Football Federation has officially lodged a complaint with FIFA, requesting a rematch of the Algeria-Cameroon game due to significant refereeing errors made by Bakary Gassama in the return leg.
