BATA, Equatorial Guinea (AP) β Equatorial Guinea’s football federation has been fined $100,000 for the crowd violence that marred the host country’s loss to Ghana in the semifinals of the African Cup of Nations.
The Confederation of African Football also said Friday that at least 36 people were hurt in Thursday night’s violence, and 14 were taken to a hospital.
Home fans threw objects at Ghanaian fans, players and officials in ugly scenes at Malabo Stadium. The game was held up for over 30 minutes in the second half as riot police fired tear gas at the angry supporters.
CAF also ordered Equatorial Guinea’s federation to pay for treatment for all those injured in the violence.
