will Guinea file a reservation against Tanzania?

Tanzania would have been guilty of an administrative error committed during the final day of the CAN 2025 qualifiers on Tuesday against Guinea.

The Group H final between Tanzania and the Guinea is controversial. Tuesday afternoon, after the victory of the Taifa Stars (1-0) qualifying them to the CAN 2025 to the detriment of the Guinea of ​​Serhou Guirassy, ​​one of the favorites for the 2024 African Ballon d’Orthe commentator of the national channel RTG had let go a huge rant went viral. “We were eliminated by the CAF (Confederation of African Football, editor’s note) scheme. CAF eliminates Guinea »he suggested.

A wasted bullet for CAF, of which we do not know what it is accused of at the time of writing these lines. While awaiting a possible reaction, the instance is awaited in another file concerning the same meeting. Tanzania was allegedly guilty of an administrative error, by playing central defender Muhamed Ibrahim Ame of local club Mashujaa FC with bib number 26, even though the latter was listed on the match sheet with the number 24.

Tanzania disqualified in favor of Guinea?

An error which, if confirmed, could disqualify the Taifa Stars who would fall from a height. And this, in application in the strict sense of article 47 of the CAF. “For any administrative error in the registration of players, the national association concerned will be suspended from participation in the following edition, and its team will be eliminated from the competition if the latter is still in progress”states the regulation.

According to the Guinean press, the Federation (FGF) has decided to file an appeal following which the Syli National hopes to be automatically qualified, if the error is proven. But this information should be taken with a pinch of salt. Because, at the time of writing these lines, the body has not officially made any communication in this direction. In the meantime, this affair is causing a lot of noise on social networks.
