The Algerian Football Federation has formally lodged a complaint with FIFA regarding a tackle by Lionel Messi during a recent match. Algerian officials believe the challenge warranted a red card and were critical of the referee’s decision to allow play to continue without penalty. A federation source stated the foul was widely considered a red card offense. The complaint centers specifically on this incident and seeks a review of the officiating. No further details regarding the match or potential repercussions were immediately available. This action underscores Algeria’s strong disagreement with the on-field judgment and their pursuit of accountability. The federation hopes FIFA will investigate the matter thoroughly.
