Following their ouster from the ongoing U20 African Cup of Nations, the Egyptian goalkeeper trainer, Ehab Galal, has accused Flying Eagles and the Young Teranga Lions of Senegal of age cheat.

Egypt who doubled as the host of the tournament lost to both Nigeria and Senegal in the group games which finally ended their hope of going further in the competition.

While speaking to the Senegalese news outlet Wiwsports, Galal singlehandedly pointed to Nigeria’s defender Solomon Agbalaka as one of the overage players.

“ Most African teams have players who are over the age required to be able to play this competition.

 These teams have many players with fake ages.

“The Senegalese goalkeeper, for example, seems older, as well as Nigeria’s number 3 player who seems to be old, and other Nigerian players.

The African Cup of Nations is completely different from the Arab Championship in terms of strength, and we registered players into the tournament late, especially since the national team did not play many matches to prepare before its start. “, he said.
