Ghana is banned from competing in the next two editions of the FIFA U17 Women’s African Qualifiers.
This is after a Moroccan protest that Nancy Amoh and Rasheeda Shahadu falsified their birthdate information and are above U17.
In addition to the ban, FIFA also fined Ghana the sum of $100,000.
The Black Maidens, Ghana U17 female national team defeated their Moroccan counterparts in the first leg of their World Cup qualifiers in Accra before losing the return leg in Rabat as Morocco qualified for the U-17 world cup in India.
