The request, which will almost certainly be
flatly ignored by FIFA, is based upon complaints about refereeing decisions.
Cameroon beat Algeria courtesy of the away
goals rule after Karl Toko Ekambi scored in the fourth minute of added time in
extra time to secure a 2-1 win on Tuesday.
That win in Blida came four days after
Algeria had won the first leg 1-0 in Douala.
Islam Slimani scored Algeria's goal in the
first leg, but it was his two disallowed goals in the return match which fueled
the FAF's fury.
Slimani had a goal correctly ruled out for
offside in the second half.
The former Leicester City striker then had
the ball in the net again in the first half of extra time, but this goal was
disallowed for handball after a VAR review.
Had either of those goals stood Algeria
would have led 2-1 on aggregate.
Ahmed Touba did put Algeria 2-1 up on
aggregate in extra time when he struck in the 118th minute.
But Algerian celebrations were cut short
when Ekambi hit Cameroon's winner with the last meaningful kick of the game.
Two days later a statement published on the
FAF website read: "The Algerian Football Federation has lodged an appeal
with FIFA against the scandalous arbitration which distorted the result of the
Algeria-Cameroon playoff return match played on March 29, 2022 at the Mustapha
Tchaker Stadium in Blida.
"The FAF is determined to use all
legally permitted means to have its rights restored and to replay the match
under conditions guaranteeing the honesty and impartiality of the arbitration.
"The FAF also requests the opening of
an investigation by FIFA bodies to shed light on the arbitration of the
Algeria-Cameroon match."
Cameroon will be in Pot 4 in Friday's World
Cup draw along with Ghana.
The other three African qualifiers -
Senegal, Morocco and Tunisia - are all in Pot 3.
