In the wake of the elimination of the Senegalese selection on penalties once morest the Bleuets, the FSF denounced its “ineligibility” and requested the exclusion of Jean-Luc Vannuchi’s players from the tournament with Fifa.
Senegal still at odds with Fifa
Through the pen of its secretary general Victor Seh Cissé, the Senegalese Federation indicates having received a response from the international body. She confirms that she is renouncing her appeal while still expressing her deep disagreement in a letter addressed to the director of the U17 World Cup, relayed by Sport News Africa : “We specify that article 9.3 of the Competition Regulations is impertinent, because, how can a team make a complaint five days before a competition on fraud of which it is unaware and which is only established from the moment the player actually participated in a match of the said competition and not before, writes Victor Seh Cissé before continuing. The fact of withdrawing the player for the matches following the violation of the regulations does not change anything in the situation of the violation is already recorded.” The France team will face Uzbekistan on Saturday morning (9:30 a.m.) in the quarter-final. With Yanis Issoufou? Doubt still lingers.
