Cape Verde FA Gets FIFA Hammer For Fielding Ineligible Player

The FIFA disciplinary committee has sanctioned the Cape Verdean football association for fielding an ineligible player in the preliminary competition match for the 2014 FIFA world cup in Brazil between Tunisia and the Cape Verde Island on September 7th. The match has been declared to be forfeited and awarded 3-nil in favour of Tunisia, meaning that the Cape Verde Islands will not progress to round 3 of the FIFA World Cup African zone qualifiers having dropped to second place in group B with nine points while Tunisia finish first with 14 points and will now advance. The sanction relates to the Cape Verde player Fernando Varela failing to serve the full four-match suspension imposed on him after receiving a red card for unsporting conduct towards a match official during a FIFA world cup qualifier on March the 24th. The draw for round three of the FIFA world cup qualifiers in the African zone will be conducted next Monday, September the 16th.
