Jordan Ayew and the captain of the Central African Republic, Amos Youga, have been captured in a viral video after the 2026 World Cup qualifiers between the two teams at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium on June 10, 2024.
Initially perceived to be a harmless exchange, it escalated into a fight between the duo, where the captain of CAR slapped Ayew on the neck as he held on to his head with both hands, after which, in a retaliatory move, pushed the CAR captain Black Stars goalkeeper Ati-Zigi in to separate and calm the two.
More players from both teams later rushed back to the park.
Antoine Semenyo, on the other hand, tried to defend Jordan Ayew while Thomas Partey exchanged pleasantries with teammates of the Central African Republic.
The exact reasons behind the altercation remain unclear, leaving fans and pundits speculating about the cause of the conflict.
