Black Maidens

The Confederation of African Football has announced the ban of Ghana’s U17 Female side over age-cheating.

As a result of the ban, Ghana not be competing in the next two editions of the U-17 championships and qualification.

This comes after Nancy Amoh and Rasheeda Shashadu age were falsified during the first leg encounter against Morocco in the FIFA World Cup qualifiers in the first leg at the Accra Sports Stadium where the Maidens won 2-0.

The Moroccans after the game filed a protest. However, the Ghana Football Association remained quiet on the the North African Country age-cheating claims.

CAF has also fined Ghana $100,000 due to the age falsification.

The Ghana Football Association still has the room to protest the decision to appeal to the case .
