The incidents occurred during a Group D Africa Cup of Nations 2025 qualifier played on October 15, 2024, at Amahoro Stadium, where Rwanda's Amavubi defeated Benin's Les Guepards 2-1. This victory placed Rwanda third in the group, level on points with Benin.
After the match, Benin players attempted to confront the referees and some members of Rwanda's coaching staff. Fortunately, security personnel intervened to prevent further escalation.
Following a disciplinary committee meeting at CAF, it was concluded that Benin violated Article 45 of the governing regulations. As a result, the Benin FA was fined $5,000 for general misconduct and an additional $25,000 for aggression against the referees, totaling to $30,000.
Despite the fine, Benin secured qualification for the tournament to be held in Morocco alongside Nigeria, finishing second in the group with eight points, ahead of Rwanda on goal difference.
