ABUJA, Nigeria (AP)—The Nigerian Football Federation has made an official complaint to the African governing body accusing Equatorial Guinea of fielding two men on its women’s team.
NFF spokesman Robinson Okosun tells The Associated Press “the protest is on. We have lodged our protest with CAF. We are waiting for the response.”
Equatorial Guinea’s federation has denied the allegations against captain Genoveva Anonma and striker Salimata Simpore, saying the claims stem from an “inferiority complex” among rival teams.
Ghana and Cameroon also questioned the players’ gender at the recent African Women’s Championship in South Africa. Equatorial Guinea qualified for next year’s World Cup after it finished second, losing the final 4-2 to Nigeria.
