CHAN CAF Disqualify Congo From CHAN 2025, Instate Equatorial Guinea

Congo has been disqualified from the 2024 Championship of African Nations (CHAN) by the Confederation of African Football (CAF) due to an eligibility dispute.

Equatorial Guinea lodged a complaint, claiming that during their qualifying matches, Congo had fielded Mankou Nguembete Japhet Eloi, an ineligible player.

Congo was found to have failed to produce a legitimate licence that would have allowed the athlete to play.
