Police occupied the Djibouti Football Federation's headquarters as tensions escalated over the potential ousting of president Souleiman Waberi. A group of club presidents convened an extraordinary general assembly to remove Waberi, who has faced increasing opposition amid allegations of financial misconduct. The federation contested the legitimacy of the assembly, claiming proper procedures were not followed.
The situation has drawn attention from FIFA and CAF, with concerns that police involvement could lead to sanctions against Djibouti's football activities. Waberi and other officials are reportedly under investigation for embezzlement and money laundering, raising questions about the future of football governance in the country.
