Golden Eaglets coach Manu Garba believes Guinea deserve to be ban by the Confederation of African Football (CAF) for fielding over-age players at the 2019 U-17 AFCON in Tanzania.
Guinea, who were runners-up at the competition will not take part at this year’s Under-17 World cup in Brazil after they were found guilty of age-cheating.
CAF also announced that Guinea will be suspended for the next two editions of the U17 Africa Cup of Nations and both players with falsified documents, Aboubacar Conte and Tidiane Keita, are suspended from all football-related activities for two years.
“This is a great lesson for every country to properly check players data,” the 2013 U17 World Cup winner stated.
“For Guinea they deserve it because the two players have two International Passports that have age discrepancies.”
Senegal, who finished third behind Guinea in Group B will now join Cameroon, Nigeria and Angola as Africa’s representatives at this year’s U-17 World Cup in Brazil.
