President of the Confederation of African Football CAF Referees Committee, Olivier Safari, has hinted that the body may move to review existing regulations guiding the use of towels by goalkeepers, following the controversy that trailed their use during the just-concluded Africa Cup of Nations AFCON in Morocco.
The controversy came to light during the semi-final clash between Nigeria and host nation Morocco, where Super Eagles goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali was repeatedly distracted as stadium officials interfered with the towels placed behind his goal.
Videos of the disruptions quickly went viral, drawing criticism from fans and pundits over the lack of control around the pitch.
