The Confederation of African Football’s (CAF) Appeal Board has upheld the decision taken by the Organising Committee of the U-17 African championship last month banning Ghana from playing in the tournament.
This was after an age-cheating protest filed by Cameroon over the MRI test of one of the players of the Black Starlets.
The CAF Appeal Board confirmed the elimination of Ghana’s team and announced Cameroon as replacement to the final phase of the competition to be played in 2015.
The CAF decision may be appealed at the Court of Arbitration for Sport within 10 days of the decision by the CAF Appeal Board.
Meanwhile the GFA Executive Committee will meet on Thursday 27th November 2014 to deliberate on the next line of action.
