Golden Eaglets Face Guinea Who Are Being Investigated By CAF For Allegedly Falsifying Passports
Published: April 21, 2019Five-time world champions Nigeria will face Guinea in the semifinal of the 2019 U17 Africa Cup of Nations, if the Young Elephants are not disqualified from the competition.
Guinea set up a meeting with the Golden Eaglets on Wednesday after beating Morocco 1-0, thanks to Momo Toure's game-winner in the 64th minute, but the question now is if the game will take place.
Senegal, who finished third in Group B, have accused Guinea of naming two ineligible players, Ahmed Tidiane Keita and Aboubacar Conte in their squad.
The Senegalese have claimed that Ahmed Keita and Aboubacar Conte used different passports during the International Dream Cup in 2017, indicating their dates of birth as 31/12/2001 and 13 / 11/2001 respectively.
The Confederation of African Football have sent a letter to the Guinean Football Federation regarding the complaint by the Senegalese Federation.
In their reply to CAF, FEGUIFOOT have categorically denied the allegations and claimed that the only official information and sports records of these two players are those given in the CMS CAF system.
