The International Football Federation (FIFA) announced on Monday that the Committee decided on disciplinary measures regarding the second leg between Algeria and Cameroon, which took place on March 29.

FIFA decided to impose a fine of 3,000 Swiss francs (2.929 euros) on the Algerian Football Federation due to the riots, including throwing objects and lighting of fireworks.

The Disciplinary Committee also officially approved the results of the game, after the Algerian Federation submitted a request to replay the second leg due to the impartiality of arbitration.

Previously, the Algerian Football Federation called on the FIFA committees to open an investigation into the Cameroon match in the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 qualifiers.

The Algerian Football Federation also filed an appeal against one of the goals canceled by Gambian referee, Bakary Gassama in the return fixture in Blida, Algeria.
