Gernot Rohr Slams CAF Over VAR Failure After Benin Republic Denied Clear Penalty in AFCON 2025 Loss to DR Congo Former Super Eagles coach Gernot Rohr has strongly criticised the Confederation of African Football (CAF) following a VAR failure that denied Benin Republic a potential penalty during their 1–0 defeat to DR Congo at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco. Rohr accused CAF of poor officiating, technical incompetence and unfair treatment of smaller nations after VAR went offline for over 15 minutes when a suspected handball occurred. The incident has sparked outrage, with Benin reportedly submitting an official petition to CAF amid growing concerns over refereeing standards and tournament organisation. #AFCON2025 #GernotRohr #CAFControversy
