Accra, Nov. 8, - The
Confederation of African Football (CAF), has reinstated Equatorial Guinea's
women national team, as legitimate participants in the upcoming Africa Women
Cup of Nations (AWCON) to be hosted in Ghana.
This follows an appeal which was
upheld by the Appeal Board of CAF, which was submitted by the Equatoguinean
Football Federation (EFF) and declared Anette Jacky Messomo eligible to feature
for the "Nzalang Nacional".
The Kenya Football Federation in
June, submitted a protest to CAF, questioning the eligibility of the player in
question, as Disciplinary Council of CAF initial upheld the protest and fined
the EFF $10,000.00.
The Appeal Board annulled the
decision of the Disciplinary Council and reinstated Equatorial Guinea, as they
would feature in this year's tournament.
Equatorial Guinea will now be in
Group B together with South Africa, Nigeria and Zambia.
