Morocco: Cameroon should be disqualified for alleged age-cheating in U17 Afcon

The Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF) has threatened to approach Fifa and report Cameroon for allegedly fielding overage players at the ongoing Africa U17 Nations Cup (U17 Afcon) tournament in Tanzania.

The Young Indomitable Lions beat Morocco 2-1 on Thursday and qualified for the semi-finals. They also booked a ticket for the Fifa U17 World Cup to be staged in Brazil later on this year.

FRMF president Fouzi Lekjaa said he alerted Caf about the alleged falsifying of players’ ages and feels the continental football governing body is not appropriately acting on the issue.
