In an official statement, CAF announced that it would refer the matter to its Disciplinary Committee to investigate and sanction all parties involved. The governing body emphasized the importance of clubs adhering to disciplinary regulations and taking measures to prevent any form of violence or crowd disruption that could compromise the integrity of competitions.

The governing body stressed that any violations of these principles would not be tolerated and called on clubs and fans to respect the rules and regulations to ensure that tournaments proceed in a positive and professional environment.
