CAF Slams $5,000 Fine on Nigeria for Overcrowding

The Confederation of African Football (CAF) monday imposed a $5,000 fine on Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) for overcrowding during the Africa Cup of Nations 2017 qualifying match between Nigeria and Egypt in Kaduna.

NFF incurred the wrath of CAF for poor crowd control measures that saw about 40,000 fans lumbered into the Ahmadu Bello Stadium, Kaduna in the AFCON 2017 Group G fixture on March 25.
