Ghana U-17 Women’s national team has been banned from competing in the next two editions of the U-17 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers for age cheating.
The sanction by CAF also involves a fine of $100,000 for the age falsification by two Ghanaian players.
This means Ghana will automatically miss out on the next two U-17 Women’s World Cup.
Black Maiden’s Nancy Amoh and Rasheeda Shahadu, who were above age 17, were found guilty of age cheating in the qualifiers against Morocco.
Both featured in the match against Morocco in Ghana at the Accra Sports Stadium where the Maidens won 2-0.
The Ghana Football Association were given the opportunity to defend themselves against the allegations but they did not provide a statement.
Ghana is already out of the World Cup following a 4-2 loss to Morocco on penalties after the North Africans had restored the 2-0 scoreline in regulation time.
