Benin Republic coach Gernot Rohr has launched a scathing attack on the Confederation of African Football over poor officiating at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco.
The former Super Eagles coach expressed fury following his side’s 1-0 defeat to the Democratic Republic of Congo, claiming Benin were denied a clear penalty and suggesting the country is being treated unfairly because of its status in African football.
“I am very angry about the quality of refereeing at this AFCON,” Rohr told Osasu Obayiuwana after the match.
“What is happening to the VAR? We were denied a penalty. Things are going crazy with CAF.”
