Ghana was found guilty by CAF after Morocco protested the ages of two Black Maidens players Nancy Amoh and Rasheeda Shahadu. The ban means Ghana’s u-17 side would not partake in the FIFA U17 Women’s World Cup African Qualifiers and would have to pay a fine of $100,000. Following the protest by Morocco, the Ghana Football Association was allowed to contest the case over the accusations of a falsified birthdate. Ghana’s u-17 side played Morocco in the FIFA U17 Women’s World Cup African Qualifiers. The Black Maidens lost by 4-2 on penalty shootout in the return leg as the Moroccans qualified to play at the FIFA U17 Women’s World Cup.
