The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has fined Nigeria $5,000 for fans’ misconduct during a 2017 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) Qualifying Group G match on June 13.
The decision of the continent’s football governing body was released on its website on Tuesday.
It said the decision was reached at its disciplinary board meeting held on September 20.
The Super Eagles’ fans had rushed into the pitch to celebrate the Super team’s second goal in the match played at the Ahmadu Bello Stadium in Kaduna.
The encounter ended 2-0 in favour of the Eagles.
The victory then had placed Nigeria in second position in the group, behind Egypt which also had three points at that time.
