U17 World Cup: Tanzania were bitter for reporting Uganda overage claims - Najjemba

The junior Crested Cranes forward Fauzia Najjemba has claimed Tanzania were bitter when they reported Uganda to Caf for allegedly fielding overage players.

In March, Uganda overturned a 2-1 first-leg loss in Dar es Salaam with a 5-0 win in the second leg to ensure they progressed into the second round of the World Cup U17 qualifiers.

After the match, Tanzania claimed their opponents fielded overage players and went ahead to report the matter.
