Banned: Minyahile Teshome Beyene |
FIFA can confirm that the Ethiopian Football Federation (EFF) has been sanctioned for fielding an ineligible player in the preliminary competition match for the 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil™ between Botswana and Ethiopia played on 8 June 2013.
The match is declared to be forfeited and awarded 3-0 in favour of Botswana, with the EFF also receiving a fine of CHF 6,000 after the FIFA Disciplinary Committee considered the EFF liable for having breached art. 55 par. 1 of the FIFA Disciplinary Code and art. 8 of the 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil™ Regulations.
The sanction relates to the Ethiopian player Minyahile Teshome Beyene failing to serve the automatic one-match suspension imposed on him following two cautions received in two different matches (art. 17 par. 3 of the FIFA Disciplinary Code).

i dont understand why should ethopia be punished twice for same offence. if fifa declared that botswana game to be forfeited and awarded 3-0 in favour of Botswana that means the next game against south Africa the same player was eligible to play. so ths time no back doors for bafana bafana!
ReplyDeleteI agree with that, but if you look at Danny Jordaan (link above) he feels differently.
ReplyDeleteBafana have failed to quality don't know why we want to qualify by force ..or maybe we would organize our own world cup and qualify as host
ReplyDeleteI thought bafana meant the boys right? Leave soccer (men's job) to the men (Ethiopia)
