Guinea, Guinea Bissau and Sierra Leone disqualified from U-17 AFCON qualifiers

The Confederation of Africa Football (CAF) has announced the disqualification of three teams from the 2024 U-17 WAFU A Cup of Nations qualifiers.

The three teams disqualified from the championship are Guinea, Guinea Bissau and Sierra.

This comes after the CAF Medical team noticed the three teams had exceeded the number of ineligible players after MRI tests.

According to the rules regarding the U-17 AFCON qualifiers, a team will be disqualified if four or more of its players are deemed ineligible during the MRI tests.

The application of the law means the three teams will not be involved in this year's qualifiers and will subsequently be absent at the next edition of the U-17 AFCON.

Following the qualification, just five teams are set to compete in the qualifiers in a single pool which starts on Monday, October 21.
