As announced yesterday, the African Football Confederation decided to bring Tunisia into play for the CAN U20. A decision disputed by the FSF which sent a letter to the CAF.
According to Nazim journalist Bessol, author of the article on Footafrique, the Senegalese Football Federation challenged the decision to replace Côte d’Ivoire by Tunisia, both in substance and in form. “” We have returned to us that steps are carried out within the CAF to involve this competition a country (Tunisia) which has not qualified neither on the ground in zonal preliminary competition, nor by its status as an organizing country “Wrote the FSF.
In its missive, the FSF wishes to remind the continental body that the draft of Tunisia, a few days before kick -off, constitutes a ” A flagrant violation of the statutes and regulations of our Confederation, as well as the sacrosanct principles which govern competitions: ethics and sports equity, equality between all associations ». The body seized the CAF well before the draw held yesterday which included Tunisia, putting Senegal in group C.
The secretary general of the FSF reminded the boss of the CAF administration, Véron Mosengo-Momba, that ” Such a decision would break equality with the other unskilled national teams, but above all would greatly lese the teams who have sportingly and legitimately won the right of participation in this CAN, in case the country concerned takes one of the qualifying places at the next FIFA U-20 World Cup, or would even win the Continental Trophy »Inform the source.
